COME AS YOU ARE. ALL OF YOU IS WELCOME HERE.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
You don’t have to explain, translate, or shrink.
You get to just be—queer, questioning, fluid, proud, messy, complicated, and human.
You have a hard time embracing who you are because you are still in self-discovery mode, and that’s okay.
CONNECT WITH A THERAPIST THAT AFFIRMS YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF. WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE SEEKING THERAPY FOR LGBTQIA+ SPECIFIC ISSUES, IT CAN BE TREMENDOUSLY HELPFUL TO CONNECT WITH SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS WHO YOU ARE.
Do you live beyond the heteronormative-cisgender box? Have you felt safe sharing your thoughts and feelings on unique life experiences? Perhaps you have yet to put a label on how you identify (and may choose to not do so) and are in the process of exploring what feels right to you. Or maybe you are navigating the challenges that comes after coming out. Seeking support from a LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist can help you to navigate unsupportive relationships or tackle the fear of taking up space in unwelcoming places.
Being queer in today’s world often means carrying layers of invisible stress—whether from family rejection, systemic injustice, internalized shame, or simply navigating spaces that weren’t built with you in mind. Even if you’re “doing well” on the outside, the emotional weight of hiding, code-switching, or constantly explaining yourself can be exhausting.
Queer-Affirming. Trauma-Informed. Culturally Grounded.
As a queer therapist of color, I bring both lived experience and clinical training to this work.
I understand how racism, homophobia, transphobia, and family dynamics can intersect—and how they often show up in therapy in subtle and not-so-subtle ways.
My approach is:
Identity-affirming: You never have to justify who you are
Anti-oppressive: We name the systems, not just the symptoms
Relational & attachment-based: Because many LGBTQ+ folks carry deep wounds around belonging
Gentle but deep: I hold space for both the grief and the joy of becoming more fully yourself
For LGBTQ+ Professionals and High Achievers
Many of my clients are queer professionals who are high-functioning on the outside but anxious, disconnected, or exhausted on the inside. You may be:
Working twice as hard to prove yourself in predominantly cis/straight or white spaces
Feeling like you have to hide parts of who you are to succeed or be accepted
Struggling to rest, ask for help, or set boundaries
Caught in perfectionism and people-pleasing, even in your close relationships
Therapy can help you unlearn the survival strategies that once kept you safe—but are now holding you back.
So many LGBTQ+ clients come to me after experiences with therapists who didn’t get them—or worse, harmed them. You deserve a space where you feel seen, affirmed, and supported. Whether you're newly exploring your identity, working through trauma, or just want a therapist who truly gets it—you’re in the right place.
I work with LGBTQ+ Adults Who Are:
Coming out or exploring identity later in life
Struggling with family, culture, or religious trauma
Burned out from perfectionism or people-pleasing
Navigating queer relationships, polyamory, or chosen family dynamics
Experiencing anxiety, depression, or dissociation
Healing from past relationships, emotional abuse, or attachment wounds
Feeling invisible, hyper-visible, or disconnected from themselves
What Therapy Can Help With:
Releasing internalized shame or fear around your identity
Navigating coming out, especially in cultural or religious contexts
Exploring gender, sexuality, and fluidity in a nonjudgmental space
Healing trauma from relationships, rejection, or unsafe environments
Building deeper self-trust and self-compassion
Strengthening your voice, boundaries, and sense of agency
Creating a life that aligns with your values, not society’s expectations
LGBTQIA+ Relationships, Love, and Connection.
Navigating relationships as an LGBTQIA+ person comes with unique joys — and real challenges. Whether you’re in a queer partnership, exploring your identity in the context of intimacy, or healing from past relationship wounds, you deserve support that affirms every part of you.
You might be:
In a mixed neurotype, multicultural, or non-monogamous relationship
Struggling to communicate or feel emotionally connected with your partner
Processing attachment wounds or trauma that show up in love and intimacy
Exploring gender, sexuality, or identity shifts within an existing relationship
Feeling unseen, misunderstood, or disconnected — even from people you care about
Whether you’re coming in alone or with a partner, LGBTQIA+ relationship therapy can help you deepen intimacy, trust, and mutual care. This is a space where your relationships — of all kinds — are seen and respected. You don’t have to fit into a box to be worthy of love, healing, or support.
