LGBTQAI+ affirming therapy
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here!
As a member of the LGBTQQIP2SAA+ community, it is a profound honor to serve its specific therapeutic needs.
My own lived experience provides me with a deep understanding of the emotional, psychological, spiritual, and practical realities of navigating systemic oppression, adversity, discrimination, social injustice, religious/spiritual oppression, and the weight of others' prejudices. I know firsthand the significant impact these issues can have on the lives and mental health of our community members.
My commitment to serving our community was a driving force in my decision to become a therapist. My aim is to provide the skills, support, and guidance you need to build happier, healthier, and more joyful lives and relationships, in whatever form they take.
Here, you will find a welcoming space where you are inherently understood. You won't need to explain the complexities of being LGBTQAI+ – I get it. I work with individuals, couples, polycules, and families of all kinds.
My practice offers a safe, gentle, non-judgmental, compassionate, and nurturing environment where every facet of who you are is welcomed, supported, nurtured, healed, and celebrated!
I provide affirming support for a variety of personal and relationship experiences within the LGBTQ+ community, including:
