LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
You deserve a space where you can show up fully as yourself—no explaining, no justifying, just being. Whether you’re exploring your identity, navigating relationships, or just looking for a therapist who genuinely understands, I’m here to support you. My approach is affirming, nonjudgmental, and client-centered. Whatever’s on your mind—big questions, everyday stress, or deeper healing—you don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s work together to build a life that feels authentic, fulfilling, and yours.
Areas of focus
Identity Exploration and Affirmation
Providing a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their gender, sexual orientation, and overall identity without judgment. This focus helps individuals affirm their authentic selves, navigate questions of self-worth, and embrace the full spectrum of who they are, all while fostering a sense of belonging and validation.
Relationship Support and Communication
Offering guidance for both romantic and non-romantic relationships, including non-monogamous and non-traditional relationship dynamics. Our work together will help clients identify their needs, develop supportive boundaries, build healthier communication and foster stronger connections.
Mental Health and Well-being
Addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges within the context of LGBTQ+ experiences. This includes recognizing the struggles that come with systemic oppression and discrimination, and how these factors impact mental health. We’ll work to understand how these challenges may shape your well-being, while also fostering resilience, coping skills, and self-esteem..
