Stigma-free, affirming, affordable therapy for LGBTQIA+ Individuals
Do you live outside of the heteronormative-cisgender box?
Have you been to other supposed “LGBTQ-friendly” counselors who had no idea what you were talking about?
Could you use a safe space to process your feelings and assess your goals?
Or maybe you’re seeking relationship counseling from someone who understands where you’re coming from.
If you can relate to any of the above, then you’ve come to the right place.
No judgments. No biases. Just a strong support system with open ears.
I take an approach embracing a positive and wholehearted view of all gender and sexual identities and relationships. I treat all clients and their families with dignity, respect and the affirmation they deserve.
Your sexual orientation and gender identity or expression may or may not be source of distress for you. You may find that having a qualified mental health professional who has familiarity, experience and desire to work with issues you face as a member of the LGBTQ community helpful to you achieving your desired outcomes. Having access to an unbiased and supportive resource can make a big difference on your journey to authentic living.
For individuals within the LGBTQ community, I provide a safe, supportive and positive space to explore feelings and issues related to all stages and seasons of life including:
- Identity Development
- Stress Management
- Self–Esteem Concerns
- Coming Out Processes
- Interpersonal Relationships
- Coping with Perfectionism
- Social Concerns
- Gender Identity
- Gender Expression
- Community and Statewide Resources
- Lifespan Concerns
Of course, many of the issues you might bring to therapy are those that are common among all people. Here are a few outcomes you may experience through the therapy process:
- Accept change and adjust to life’s transitions
- Develop healthy coping skills to reduce stress
- Help reduce emotional and physical feelings of anxiety
- Learn to tolerate and express feelings in healthy ways
- Improve your ability to relate others
- Develop healthy interpersonal relationships
- Quiet self-criticism and adopt positive view of self
Stigma, in any form, is an impediment to the well-being of those who experience it. Given the stressors that LGBT groups must confront, such as homophobia, prejudice, coming out, and discrimination, finding a therapist who is openly LGBT-friendly or who specializes in LGBT issues is crucial to your personal growth.
As an LGBTQIA+ therapist, I am committed to helping clients of all genders, sexual identities and expressions feel not only safe, but truly respected.
