LGBTQ+

You want to live fully as yourself.

You see things differently than the average person. You want to walk in your truth. Society and others often expect you to be what you are not.

You’re tired of being treated as a second-class citizen. Being fully seen and living authentically is what you want. You are sometimes scared to share yourself with others.

Will others react badly? Will I feel safe?

Imagining what it would be like to have a community of people who accept you for you can seem far off.

Is it possible to find that community?

You know you don’t fit into the binary or heteronormativity. You’re tired of being misgendered or assumed to be in a relationship with a certain sex.

You want to exist fully without having to explain yourself.

As a therapist inside the LGBTQ+ community, working with me can be powerful in giving you the space to share and explore your truth. I will accept your most authentic self.

Finding a community that identifies as LGBTQ+ can be powerful in giving you the support you need. Having relationships with folks who also celebrate who they are through an accepting community can give you room to blossom into yourself.

Many emotions, stressors, and past negative experiences can create fear about expressing your authentic self. There are also experiences of euphoria, happiness, and positivity that come when you are living your truth.

A therapist that understands makes a difference in therapy.

Sitting with a therapist you don’t have to teach about your experiences can help you take a load off. And beyond that, we are not just our identities. How much we focus on identity in therapy is entirely up to you.

Having a therapist knowledgeable in LGBTQ+ experiences can change the game in a therapy process. Having a provider with a lived experience in the community can also give some comfort to being open and vulnerable to the therapy process.

Regardless of your sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, partner status, or another identity, I will embrace you. I get how it can be frustrating and anxiety-producing to find a therapist who understands your life and doesn’t make assumptions about how it’s supposed to go.
