LGBTQ+ Counseling

My Approach

In LGBTQ+ counseling, I provide a safe and affirming space for individuals to explore their identity, navigate challenges related to their sexual orientation or gender identity, and cultivate a sense of self-acceptance and empowerment. Drawing from my own experiences as a queer therapist, I offer cultural humility and compassionate care tailored to the unique needs of the LGBTQ+ community. My approach is affirming, validating, and non-judgmental, honoring the diversity and resilience of each individual's journey.

Issues I can help with:

  • Exploring and affirming sexual orientation and gender identity

  • Assessment and letter writing for affirming medical care

  • Coping with discrimination, prejudice, and microaggressions

  • Navigating coming out to family, friends, or colleagues

  • Addressing internalized homophobia or transphobia

  • Building self-esteem and self-acceptance

  • Managing anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns related to LGBTQ+ identity

  • Negotiating relationships and intimacy within the LGBTQ+ community

  • Accessing resources and support networks for LGBTQ+ individuals

  • Coping with the emotional and logistical challenges of conception, including IVF and IUI procedures

  • Navigating the unique dynamics of queer parenting, including co-parenting agreements, legal considerations, and family dynamics.
