If you or someone you know is wanting to explore issues pertaining to sexual orientation or you simply want to work with a therapist who understands, I’ve worked with the LGBTQ community for over two decades and am dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming space intended for people to explore and thrive. I understand the unique challenges that can come with sexual orientation, and I’m committed to fostering an environment of acceptance and understanding.
Choosing a therapist who is familiar with LGBTQ issues is important because your experiences are unique. I’m here to create a therapeutic alliance built on trust and empathy. Your journey is your own, and my goal is to make sure you feel heard and validated each step of the way so you can focus on what is important to you during our work together.
Therapy with a skilled and affirming professional can be transformative. I take a client-centered approach, tailoring our sessions to meet your specific needs and goals. My aim is to create a non-judgmental and supportive space where you can explore and grow into your unique self, goals and values.
What we focus on is dependent on what your goals and struggles are. Some LGBTQ individuals want to unpack family of origin issues that may center around a lack of acceptance from family members. Some people have spiritual struggles and are trying to reconcile their spiritual beliefs because of what I call spiritual abuse. Others want to learn healthier ways to communicate and express themselves so they can strengthen romantic and personal relationships.
Still others seek counseling not to address sexual orientation but to address more general concerns and struggles such as workplace issues, anxiety, depression or personal development. Regardless of your reason for considering therapy, my goal is to make our work together a catalyst for personal growth and resilience in all areas of your life. Counseling, when paired with experience, skill, and compassion, has the power to transform, and I’m here to be your partner in that process.
