I offer LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy grounded in respect, safety, and genuine curiosity about who you are. This is a space where your identity is not questioned, explained away, or treated as a problem to be solved. You don’t have to educate me, justify yourself, or fit into any boxes to belong here. My work supports LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples navigating identity exploration, coming out (to others or to yourself), relationships, family dynamics, minority stress, and the emotional impact of living in systems that are not always affirming. I also work with concerns related to anxiety, emotional regulation, self-worth, workplace stress, and life transitions, all through an affirming and non-pathologizing lens. I use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and REBT, but therapy with me is never rigid or formulaic. Sessions are collaborative, paced, and adapted to what feels safe and useful for you. We focus on understanding patterns, building emotional clarity, and strengthening your sense of agency—without rushing you toward labels, decisions, or “fixed” outcomes. I believe therapy should feel human, steady, and supportive, not clinical or intimidating. Whether you are certain about who you are or still figuring things out, you are welcome here exactly as you are. My role is to walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and respect as you make sense of your experiences and move toward a life that feels more aligned and authentic.
