I recognize the intersectionality of your experiences and will create strategies that resonate with your unique story.

Benefits of LGBTQ Counseling Online

Receiving LGBTQ counseling online through telehealth has several advantages:

I offer secure and confidential video sessions through a HIPAA-compliant platform that can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection. Because it is fully remote, you can receive the support you need without having to leave your home.
Whether you’re just exploring or are presenting as your authentic self in the world, telehealth offers you a safe place with complete confidentiality. Come as you are!
No need to worry about people who may be waiting in the lobby or in another in-person setting.
Telehealth is available to all residents of North Carolina.

My aim is to facilitate your exploration and growth in a setting that’s as understanding and resilient as you are. You deserve a secure environment where you can express your feelings, experiences, and identity freely.

How My Therapy Can Help

The therapy I provide focuses on creating a supportive atmosphere that emphasizes comfort and security in one’s identity. The journey is not about “fixing” but rather nurturing a celebration of diversity.

This approach acknowledges the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ individuals, such as societal stigma or discrimination, and works towards alleviating those external pressures. By providing a safe space to discuss feelings and experiences, therapy encourages self-exploration and empowers my clients to affirm their identities openly and confidently. The nonjudgmental, nurturing environment that I provide is especially helpful for those dealing with gender dysphoria.

This inclusive therapy also addresses anxiety and depression symptoms that often arise from experiences of exclusion or discrimination. Many individuals within the LGBTQ community grapple with feelings of isolation, shame, or fear due to societal rejection, family disapproval, or religious condemnation. By fostering an inclusive and affirming therapeutic environment, I help individuals to safely explore these painful emotions without fear of judgment. Additionally, I work with my clients to develop effective coping strategies and find methods to navigate and challenge any external negativity.

Internalized Thoughts and Feelings in the LGBTQ Community

Members of the LGBTQ community often internalize thoughts and feelings stemming from societal messages that stigmatize diverse identities. These messages may cause individuals to believe that their identities are invalid or undesirable. By validating their experiences and affirming their identities, they can begin to dismantle this internalized stigma and self-doubt.

Through therapy, you will develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself — enabling you to reclaim your identity, break free from the weight of stigma, and embrace your true self with confidence and pride.

A Safe Environment

I’m committed to ensuring that you feel completely safe and heard. I look forward to providing you with a safe space where you can express yourself without fear of judgment — and in doing so, begin the process of genuine healing and growth.

Established LGBTQ & Transgender Therapist Online

As an established LGBTQ and transgender therapist online, I’ve been helping individuals in the NC LGBTQ community since 2007. And as a North Carolina licensed clinical mental health counselor, you can feel confident knowing that I have the professional training and experience necessary to support you through your journey.

Not only do I have over 17 years of mental health care experience, but I also have a master’s degree in Community Counseling.
