LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy

Celebrating Queer Identity and Expression with Queer-Affirming Therapy

I provide a safe, celebratory space for exploring gender, sexuality, and identity. My practice is grounded in the understanding that queer and trans experiences are diverse, valid, and worthy of affirmation and support.

Areas of Focus

I work with clients navigating various aspects of LGBTQIA+ life, including:

• Gender identity exploration and transition support
• Sexual orientation and coming out processes
• Relationship and dating challenges
• Family dynamics and acceptance
• Intersectional identity experiences
• Minority stress and discrimination
• Body image and gender expression
• Career and workplace challenges

My Approach

I utilize an intersectional, trauma-informed approach that recognizes:

• The impact of systemic oppression and minority stress
• The importance of chosen family and community
• The unique strengths and resilience of LGBTQIA+ individuals
• The need for both validation and practical support
• The diversity of gender expressions and identities
• The complexity of coming out and transition processes

What to Expect

Our work together will be collaborative and affirming. We'll focus on:

• Creating a safe space for authentic self-expression
• Developing coping strategies for minority stress
• Building self-acceptance and pride
• Navigating relationships and social situations
• Supporting your unique journey of self-discovery
• Connecting with community resources when desired

Community Connection

I maintain connections with LGBTQIA+ healthcare providers, support groups, and community resources. I can provide referrals and additional support as needed.
