LGBT Issues
Telespera Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor
When people think of counseling, they might picture support for life’s common challenges, but inclusive counseling goes deeper—it acknowledges and celebrates the rich diversity of identities, relationships, and experiences within the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. For LGBTQ+ individuals, those in polyamorous relationships, or people exploring kink or other nontraditional expressions, counseling can provide a safe, affirming space to navigate unique challenges and embrace authenticity.
Life’s “speed bumps” may include navigating identity, facing discrimination, overcoming societal stigma, or dealing with rejection from loved ones. For those in polyamorous or kink-positive communities, additional challenges may arise, such as misunderstandings, judgment, or lack of support from traditional systems. Inclusive counseling offers a space free from shame or assumptions, where your relationships, preferences, and identity are seen, understood, and respected.
No two journeys of identity and self-discovery are the same. You might be exploring your gender or sexual orientation, navigating the dynamics of consensual non-monogamy, or seeking deeper self-acceptance in the context of kink. Whatever your path, inclusive counseling validates your experiences, providing compassionate support tailored to your unique life and relationships.
Sex-positive and affirming counseling creates a partnership built on respect and understanding. It’s a chance to explore challenges, celebrate successes, and process the “speed bumps” that might arise along the way. Whether you’re working through relationship dynamics, addressing societal stigma, or simply finding your voice in a world that often misunderstands, counseling is here to help.
The good news is that affirming, inclusive therapy is more accessible than ever. With approaches designed to honor your individuality and experiences, you can move forward with confidence, authenticity, and pride in who you are and how you love.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBT community, and as someone who holds degrees both in psychology and LGBT Health and Policy, I couple an academic understanding of the unique disparities that come with these identities with a profound personal knowledge of them in my own life. Not all patients have had positive experiences with the medical community, so it is my hope that my education and bisexual identity will serve my patients in a way that makes them feel both heard and seen. I also recognize that our identities can be static, or they can be fluid, and that the coming out process isn’t something we do just once: we do it over and over again. I do not personally identify as cisgender, and so I approach the issues facing the transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming communities with deep empathy and personal understanding. From fluidity to transitioning, hormone replacement therapy, to writing letters for surgery, I am committed to supporting my clients on their journeys. Not everyone experiences their own gender in the same way, so the discussion of gender as a construct and societal gender norms is at the forefront of our discussions in working through the big mess that is gender.
