Specialties
LGBTQ Issues
Treatment for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer clients, as well as those questioning their sexual or gender identity.
Though greater acceptance for those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or queer is developing in our society, many difficulties can still be associated with the process of living your identity fully. I have several years experience working LGBTQ indiviudals to identify goals and work towards meaningful change. I particularly specialize in transgender adolescent and adult populations, with collaborations in the New Haven area and beyond.
