LGBTQ+ affirming therapy goes beyond tolerance—it’s about understanding, celebrating, and supporting your identity as a strength, not a problem. Whether you're seeking therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, or life transitions, our work together will integrate your identity in a way that promotes healing and wholeness.

My practice is open to people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions, including:

• Lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, and queer folks

• Transgender, nonbinary, gender expansive, and questioning individuals

• People navigating intersectional identities, including race, culture, disability, and neurodivergence

Common Issues I Support

You may come to therapy for a wide range of reasons, including:

• Identity exploration and self-acceptance

• Coming out to family, friends, or coworkers

• Managing minority stress, internalized shame, or discrimination

• Trauma from religious, familial, or societal rejection

• Relationship and dating concerns

• Gender dysphoria, transition support, or navigating medical systems

• Coping with anxiety, depression, or burnout in a heteronormative world

Whatever brings you here, you don’t need to have it all figured out. Therapy can be a space to untangle, process, and discover what healing looks like for you.

My Approach

As a licensed and trauma-informed therapist in Boulder, I offer evidence-based therapy including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

All approaches are integrated with a deep respect for the complex social and emotional realities of LGBTQ+ clients. Therapy with me is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and rooted in the belief that your story matters.

Why Affirming Therapy Matters

Many LGBTQ+ individuals have had negative or invalidating experiences in mental health care. Affirming therapy creates a space where you can:

• Feel seen and accepted without needing to explain or defend who you are

• Address mental health concerns without separating them from your lived identity

• Heal from relational, familial, or cultural wounds

• Explore your values and goals in a way that reflects your full self

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

You deserve therapy that meets you with respect, curiosity, and care—not assumptions or bias. Whether you're out to everyone, just beginning to explore, or somewhere in between, I welcome you as you are.
