I have supported hundreds of couples over the past 15+ years who are LGBT or navigating a partner coming out, and look forward to helping you get your relationship where you want it to be. Poor communication? Broken trust? Endless arguments? I look forward to hearing from you.

Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Acceptance and kindness is incredibly important in LGBTQIA+ spaces. For many, these spaces are a refuge from judgment, where people can show up as their full selves without fear. Practicing acceptance means honoring diverse identities and experiences, even when they differ from our own. Kindness ensures this acceptance is felt, not just stated—through listening, respect, and support. Together, they create environments where individuals can heal, grow, and build genuine connection.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Most LGBTQIA+ people have been subjected to ignorant and hurtful opinions – or worse, downright abuse. I have been bullied myself, so I have a passion for helping people work through this kind of trauma. The judgement, discrimination, rejection, or outright aggression can be crushing. Having a person deeply understand this and give you solutions can be extremely helpful and soothing. In addition to these and many other unique issues, you likely also have everyday issues in relationships, or depression or anxiety and I’m hear to help with those too.

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Many LGBTQ+ individuals carry the cumulative impact of rejection, invisibility, or discrimination. Therapy focuses on understanding how these experiences affect the nervous system, attachment patterns, and internal self-talk.
Using IFS, we gently unburden parts that have learned to protect through withdrawal, perfectionism, or hyper-independence. Our work fosters self-compassion, emotional regulation, and secure connection in present relationships.

Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As part of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I am passionate about providing a safe, open-minded, and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds and identities. I have years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults as well as family members of those who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. I thrive on helping others discover who they are and feel more empowered to be that person in every day life. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice, and I provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well. ~~~ Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~

Shauna Farabaugh
Life Coach, Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Board Certified Sexologist, Certified TRE provider
As a queer-identified woman, it is my deepest pleasure to support my LGBTQIA+ community in addressing their sexuality concerns. Pleasure is resistance! And our birthright. Somatic sex education offers the opportunity for you to address your sexuality concerns in partnership with your body. Learn how to access your body's wisdom to truly know what you want and how to discover and follow the pleasure available there. Or learn practical skills for sexual communication, mastered through coaching and simple practices so you "know" how to communicate not just intellectually but in your bones. And sometimes we just need a chance to learn the "facts" of sex education from a non-judgmental, inclusive lens, liberated from hetero and gender normative biases. Ready to take the first step towards more pleasure? Contact me today for your FREE consultation.
