Get Help With A Variety of Challenges
What if you could move through life with more ease?
Identity Exploration
Exploring your orientation or gender identity can be both exciting and scary, bringing up a variety of emotions and experiences as you discover who you are, how you want to express yourself, and to whom you are attracted.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
Maybe you are comfortable with your identity but want a therapeutic environment where you don’t have to educate your therapist – instead you can work on the hard stuff that brought you to therapy.
Internalized Homophobia
Internalized homophobia and shame can leave you feeling disconnected from your true self, often causing guilt or self-doubt about your identity. Therapy can help you unlearn these negative beliefs, heal from societal pressures, and embrace yourself.
Self-Esteem & Growth
Low self-esteem can trap you in a cycle of self-doubt and missed opportunities. It’s time to break free. Whether you’re struggling with negative self-talk, lack of confidence, or feelings of inadequacy, you can reclaim your sense of worth.
Co-dependance
Codependence can leave you feeling stuck in patterns of over-giving, neglecting your own needs, and seeking validation from others. Therapy can help you break free from these cycles, set healthy boundaries, and reclaim your sense of self-worth and independence.
People Pleasing
People-pleasing often leads to sacrificing your own needs to keep others happy, leaving you feeling drained and unfulfilled. Assertiveness training can help you break the habit, establish healthy boundaries, and start prioritizing your own happiness without guilt.
Overthinking
Overthinking can trap you in endless loops of worry and self-doubt, making it hard to find clarity or peace of mind. Therapy can help you quiet the noise, gain perspective, and develop tools to break free from overanalyzing every situation.
Burnout & Overwhelm
Let’s transform your overwhelm into a pathway toward something that brings you joy and enthusiasm, creating a life where energy flows from what truly matters to you.
Creating a Life Worth Living
Creating a life worth living means moving beyond just surviving and finding what truly brings you joy, purpose, and fulfillment. Therapy can guide you in discovering your values, setting meaningful goals, and building a life that feels deeply rewarding and authentic to you.
Divorce & Breakup Healing
Process your sadness, anger, confusion, fear, rejection, and other emotions as you process the loss of a significant relationship.
Career Dissatisfaction
This is a space for you to explore what is and is not working for you in your current career (or lack thereof) and what you want for your future. It’s okay if you don’t know what that is or feel stuck. We can figure it out together.
Trauma Recovery
Trauma can leave lasting emotional scars, but counseling offers a path to healing by helping you process the pain, regain control, and rebuild a sense of safety and resilience.
Individual Counseling for Relationship Challenges
Individual therapy is often helpful while also doing couples or relationship counseling with your partner. Therapy can help you overcome challenges that may be contribution to your relationship difficultites.
Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression are two sides of the same coin – one is a future-focused brain and the other dwells in the past. Counseling can help restore balance, hope, and create a life worth living.
Jealousy & Adjusting to Polyamory
Explore and understand your experience in ethical, non-monogamous relationships to resolve mistrust, jealousy, time allocation, intimacy sharing, and more.
We also help with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and other struggles that everyone deals with at some point (some more than others).

Why Seek LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy?
Choosing a therapist who understands your experiences is essential to feeling truly seen and supported. Here’s why affirming therapy makes a difference:
Support from Someone Who “Gets It”
You deserve a therapist who understands the unique challenges LGBTQ+ individuals face. In affirming therapy, there’s no need to explain your identity or educate your therapist—we’re already familiar with the journey you’re on.
No Judgment, No Assumptions
Your therapy should be a place where you can show up authentically without fear of judgment or stereotypes. Our sessions are a space where your voice, needs, and experiences are central, not just an afterthought.
Healing from Shame and Stigma
Internalized homophobia, shame, or past negative experiences can weigh heavily on your mental health. Affirming therapy is designed to help you unpack and unlearn those harmful beliefs so you can heal and move forward with confidence.
Embracing Your True Self
Affirming therapy empowers you to fully embrace who you are, helping you build self-acceptance and strengthening your confidence. Whether you’re navigating identity questions or seeking guidance with day-to-day challenges, we’ll support you in living authentically.
A Dedicated Space for Growth
In LGBTQ+ affirming therapy, you’ll be supported in exploring all aspects of your life—whether it’s relationships, family dynamics, mental health, or personal growth. This is your space to find clarity, process emotions, and take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

The stories we tell ourselves are powerful and influence how we view our past and who we become in the future. I use a mix of person-centered, narrative, EFT, CBT, Gottman, and other evidence-based therapies to help you overcome your challenges and move through life with more ease.
