Queer-Affirming Therapy: A Space for Healing and Growth
I provide a deeply affirming, supportive space for LGBTQIA+ individuals to explore their identities, relationships, and mental health. As a queer therapist, I understand the unique challenges that come with navigating the world as a queer or trans person. Whether you're unpacking internalized messages, seeking to heal from trauma, or working to embrace your authentic self, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, celebrated, and empowered.
Why Queer-Affirming Therapy? Queer and trans people often face unique stressors, including discrimination, rejection, and systemic oppression. These challenges can lead to feelings of isolation, shame, or self-doubt. Therapy that isn’t explicitly queer-affirming may unintentionally reinforce these harmful dynamics, leaving you feeling misunderstood or even retraumatized. In queer-affirming therapy, I prioritize your lived experiences and honor your identity as central to the therapeutic process. I create a space where you can freely express yourself, explore your journey, and heal without fear of judgment or invalidation. |
Supporting Trans and Nonbinary Individuals
For trans and nonbinary individuals, therapy can be a crucial part of navigating gender identity, medical or social transitions, and the impacts of transphobia. I am committed to providing affirming care that respects and supports your gender journey, whether you’re seeking to explore your identity, process dysphoria, or simply find a space to exist authentically.
My Approach
Relational and Collaborative Therapy: I work alongside you to explore the intersections of your identity, relationships, and experiences. Together, we’ll unpack the societal messages that may be affecting your mental health and create space to build a narrative that reflects your truth.
Trauma-Informed Care: Many queer and trans individuals have experienced trauma, whether from family rejection, discrimination, or systemic oppression. My trauma-informed approach prioritizes safety and self-compassion, helping you process these experiences in a way that feels manageable and empowering.
Exploring Intersectionality: Your identity is multifaceted, and I honor the ways your queerness intersects with race, culture, spirituality, disability, and other aspects of who you are. Therapy is a space to explore these intersections and how they shape your experiences in the world.
Creating a Safe and Affirming Space
I am committed to fostering an environment that is explicitly queer- and trans-affirming. This is a space where you can shed the masks you may wear in the outside world and simply be yourself. Whether you're grappling with societal pressures, questioning your identity, or looking to build self-compassion, I’m here to support you with care and respect.
Taking the Next Step
Therapy is an act of self-care and self-empowerment. If you’re ready to explore your identity, heal from past wounds, or grow into your fullest self, I’m here to walk alongside you.
