Find Confidence and Self-Acceptance Through LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy

As an LGBTQ+ affirmative psychologist, I am dedicated to supporting individuals in the LGBTQ+ community by helping them embrace their authentic selves. LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy is designed to empower you to navigate the complexities of gender identity, sexual orientation, and relationships in a safe, inclusive, and nonjudgmental space. I understand that societal challenges such as homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism can deeply impact your emotional well-being, and my goal is to help you work through these barriers while fostering self-acceptance and confidence.

With over twenty years of experience advocating for the LGBTQ+ community, I’ve gained invaluable insight into the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ youth and adults. My role at the Institute of Sexual Minority Studies and Services – Family Resilience Project has allowed me to work closely with individuals navigating a wide range of concerns. This hands-on experience has reinforced my commitment to providing LGBTQ+ affirmative care that truly supports my clients in their journey.

I specialize in working with clients on issues like:

  • Navigating the medical system for gender-affirming care

  • Securing referrals to trusted gender specialists and healthcare providers

  • Managing the emotional and psychological impacts of gender dysphoria and transitioning

  • Coming out to family, friends, and coworkers

  • Coping with family rejection and social stigma

  • Educating allies and advocating for acceptance within communities

  • Addressing relationship issues specific to LGBTQ+ individuals and couples

My approach is rooted in respect, dignity, and a genuine desire to create a space where you can feel truly seen and heard. Whether you’re navigating complex emotions related to gender identity, looking for guidance in coming out, or dealing with relationship dynamics unique to the LGBTQ+ community, I provide personalized, affirmative therapy that helps you feel supported every step of the way.

Choosing LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy is a powerful step towards healing, self-discovery, and personal growth. If you're facing challenges with your gender identity, sexual orientation, or relationships, I’m here to support you in embracing who you are and finding peace within yourself. Together, we’ll work toward your mental wellness and self-empowerment.
