In our practice, we specialize in understanding the complexities of LGBTQ issues, offering a nurturing space where couples can address specific challenges such as navigating family dynamics, overcoming internalized homophobia or transphobia, and fostering open and honest communication around gender identity and sexual orientation. Together, we guide couples through these intricacies, empowering them to strengthen their bond and embrace their unique journey towards love and fulfillment.
As a non-binary queer therapist, I enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community and providing affirming, quality care. I help LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples navigate conflict, gender/sexuality exploration, and communication issues while they work to build a healthy, sustainable connection with themselves and others. I also aim to support queer and trans folx who are looking to heal from disconnection or trauma and find affirming peer relationships or resources in the community.

The LGBTQIA+ community faces mental health issues and unique challenges, in addition to daily stressors, at higher risks than other sections of our society and this is done often without support from the people they most want support from. Having familiarity and experience with orientation/identity is a must for successful therapy outcomes and a level of comfort with a therapist who has experience with community issues eases the process. The rapidly changing situations in our society results in even greater oppression, discrimination, and wellbeing issues. Being authentic and having a sense of self sometimes is met with pressures that lead to mental health concerns. Providing a safe, judgement free space to explore all the concerns and life challenges is what I offer.
