My aim is to provide healing to clients of all backgrounds. That includes lending a compassionate ear and providing guidance to anyone who has undergone physical, mental, emotional, or verbal abuse; complex trauma; mood disorders; relationship loss; and/or other life stressors.
I recognize the intersectionality of your experiences and will create strategies that resonate with your unique story.

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.
