Therapy for Queer & Trans People
Being yourself shouldn’t be painful.
You have enough to worry about. You deserve a therapist that doesn’t need you to teach them about your identity, cissexism, polyamory, or alternative lifestyles.
Whether you're navigating life transitions, dealing with past trauma, or simply seeking support to live authentically, we’ll work together to uncover your strength, resilience, and connection to yourself and your community.
Imagine feeling safe enough to…
Process your coming out journey
Unpack and challenge internalized oppression
Heal from oppression & discrimination
Explore your gender and/or sexuality
Manage dysphoria & body image concerns
Set healthy boundaries with your family of origin
Build resilience & joy
It is possible to feel better, to feel more alive, to cultivate and maintain meaningful connections. I am here to embrace you however you identify and help create a space for you to heal, grow, and connect.
How LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy Works
LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy consists of 45-minute, one-on-one sessions that help you work through your concerns. In addition to listening and empathizing I will guide you towards skills that actually help you to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. In so doing, I hope to support you to feel more connected with yourself, your community, and a sense of liberatory purpose.
What to expect from this process:
When you reach out, I’ll share my availability and offer a free 15-20 minute consultation. If we’re a good fit, we’ll meet for three sessions to assess if ongoing therapy makes sense, and I’ll ask you to complete an intake form to guide our work together.
We will work to build a trusting relationship where you feel accepted and supported to explore your struggles safely.
You will direct our work together and lead us in the direction you need to go while I listen and develop an understanding for your concerns.
I will support you to uncover the ways in which social and structural oppression may have become internalized. I do this in a grounded, non-judgmental way, led by grace, compassion, and curiosity.
We’ll study your past and connect early dynamics with caregivers to larger systems of oppression like ableism and white supremacy, and explore how they show up in your self-narrative and relationships.
