Not just LGBT-affirming, a therapist with LGBTQIA+ experience. No more guessing.

You deserve a space where you are seen, respected, and fully accepted—exactly as you are. You shouldn’t have to spend valuable session time explaining your identity… I want to get to know YOUR version of the queer experience, wherever you are in your process.

As a queer-identified clinician, I understand firsthand how powerful it is to be supported by someone who truly gets it. Whether you're exploring your identity, navigating relationships, processing past trauma, or seeking a place to simply be yourself without explanation—this space is for you.

I offer LGBTQ+ affirming therapy grounded in empathy, lived experience, and clinical expertise. Together, we’ll create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where your identity is not only respected, but celebrated.

Areas we may explore together include:

  • Gender identity exploration and transition support

  • Sexual orientation, self-acceptance, and coming out

  • Relationship dynamics, including polyamory and nontraditional structures

  • Navigating family, workplace, or cultural challenges

  • Trauma, anxiety, depression, and internalized shame

  • Coping with minority stress

As a trauma & EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist, I also offer trauma-focused support to help you safely process painful experiences—especially those tied to identity-based trauma, rejection, or systemic oppression.

Therapy can be a powerful act of self-care and self-liberation. You don’t have to carry it all alone—and you don’t have to explain who you are just to be understood.

Healing at the Intersection of Sexuality, Gender & Religious Trauma

When your identity and cultural beliefs collide, it can leave deep wounds—ones that are often invisible, but profoundly painful.

If you’ve ever been told that who you are is “wrong,” “sinful,” or “unacceptable” because of your sexuality or gender identity, you may be carrying the weight of religious trauma. This kind of trauma is unique: it doesn’t just impact how you see yourself—it can distort your sense of safety, belonging, and even your connection to something greater than yourself.

As a queer-identified therapist with experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients through the layers of religious trauma, I hold space for all the parts of you—including the parts that still feel confused, angry, grieving, or searching.

In this space, we can explore:

  • Healing from shame, fear, or internalized beliefs rooted in religious doctrine

  • Navigating estrangement or conflict with faith communities or family

  • Making sense of your spiritual beliefs—whether that means reclaiming, redefining, or releasing them

  • Processing identity-based trauma related to “conversion therapy,” excommunication, or spiritual abuse

  • Reconnecting with a sense of worth, dignity, and self-trust

You don’t have to choose between your identity and your integrity. Healing is possible—not by erasing the past, but by gently untangling it, making space for your truth, and reconnecting to your own inner voice.

You are not broken. You are not alone. And you are deeply worthy of healing.
