As an inclusive therapist, I understand and affirm the diverse experiences of the LGBTQIA community, providing a respectful space to explore identity, relationships, and personal challenges.
As a queer clinician, I aim to support you through creating a validating space where we can learn about ourselves and not feel alone in the struggles of our identity. It can feel isolating in a heteronormative society and I am here to give you the space and time to feel heard and seen.
CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT.
Things not working the way you'd like? Find out why and change it.
Anxiety, depression, trauma, gay/lesbian/bisexual issues, addictions (substances or behaviors)? These are some of the areas where I can help.
YOU SET THE COURSE, AND I'LL HELP YOU GET THERE.
The route to parenthood for LGBTQ+ families is layered and complex. Whether you are choosing to receive fertility treatment, have a surrogate, foster, or adopt, building a family as a queer person requires intention, resources, and targeted information.
In addition to the stress and bias that comes with engaging with heteronormative medical and legal systems, you may be navigating changes to your identity and relationships. I’m here to validate your concerns and experiences, collaborate with you to develop new coping skills, and notice the joys that come with expanding your love to include children.
I have personal and professional experience knowing and working with folx who identify as LGBTQIA2S. I strive to implement cultural competency and create a safe space for you to explore and express your authentic self and lived experience.
I offer a safe and affirming space for individuals of all gender identities and sexual orientation. My practice is dedicated to addressing the unique challenges and experiences faced by the LGBTQ+ community, providing culturally competent and affirming care.
Some situations are unique to the LGBTQ+population, such as dating someone of the same sex, transitioning genders or coming out. Other times, common symptoms like depression, anxiety and low self-esteem are present and connected to one’s LGBTQ+ identity. Everyone has his/her/their own personal story and experiences life differently. For any LGBTQ+ people seeking therapy, having a therapist who can see and understand all aspects of the one-of-a-kind person you are is essential. Whether you are working through LGBTQ+ specific themes or universal human challenges in a LGBTQ+ context, I am prepared to serve you.
Being part of the LGBTQIA+ community has distinct challenges that permeate every facet of life, from interactions with strangers to the very core of our being. Concerns around intimacy, trust and safety are common, as is a real desire to discover the self in relation to gender, love and purpose. I offer a space where we can safely unpack these and other deeply foundational questions and explore their underlying structures within your unique and individual experiences.
