How Therapy for LGBTQIA+ Individuals Works
One of the most powerful ways to prioritize your mental health is through affirming talk therapy. In your first session, your therapist will create a safe space to explore your experiences, challenges, and goals. From there, you’ll work together on a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique journey. Every session is confidential—just you and your therapist—so you can feel seen, heard, and valued as you move toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.

MA, MFT
they/them
I work predominantly with romantic relationships and partnerships, but I see individuals as well. In my work, I tend to focus on trauma, neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+ issues, and identity. I use a combination of narrative and emotion-focused therapy which means that we work together to find and explore emotions and stories that have gone untold or unheard. I make a point to be transparent with my clients and I encourage clients to show up in whatever way they are most comfortable (yes, even in your pajamas).
