LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy

As an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I offer a space where your full identity is not just welcomed — it’s understood, respected, and celebrated. Whether you’re exploring your gender, sexuality, relationships, or simply seeking support from someone who gets it, this is a place where you don’t have to explain or educate before being seen.

What is LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy?

LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy centers the unique lived experiences of queer, trans, and gender-diverse individuals, and intentionally works against the bias, shame, and trauma often embedded in traditional mental health spaces.

Affirming therapy isn’t just about being “okay” with your identity — it’s about actively supporting your right to live fully and authentically, while holding space for the complexities that come with that.

This is therapy that recognizes:

• Gender is expansive — not binary.

• Sexuality is fluid — not a box to check.

• Relationships don’t have to follow one script.

• Intersectionality shapes every part of your lived experience.

You Might Be Seeking LGBTQIA+ Therapy If You’re:

• Questioning or exploring your gender identity or sexual orientation

• Navigating coming out or managing how much to share (and with whom)

• Experiencing minority stress, discrimination, or complex trauma

• Struggling with internalized shame, anxiety, or perfectionism

• Processing experiences of religious trauma or rejection

• Looking for nonjudgmental support around sex, kink, polyamory, or chosen family

• Wanting a therapist who is affirming, aware, and already in your corner

What LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy Can Offer:

• A therapeutic relationship where your identity is reflected and honored

• Space to explore your past, present, and future without shame or pressure

• Tools for boundary-setting, emotional regulation, and self-compassion

• Support navigating identity, belonging, and healing in the face of systemic harm

• A place to practice living more freely and unapologetically

A Note on Lived Experience

As a bi-racial, bisexual therapist with ADHD and lived experience as a trauma survivor, I understand how deeply healing it can be to sit with someone who holds space for all of your intersections. My practice is rooted in anti-oppressive, liberation-focused care — where your wholeness is never up for debate.

Whether you’re looking for support around coming out, exploring your gender, recovering from queer trauma, or simply want to be held in your full humanity — you are welcome here.
