Therapy for the LGBTQ Community
Members of the LGBTQ community face many stressors.
Minority stress and stigma are, unfortunately, common occurrences among the LGBTQ community.
Many individuals in this community face prejudice, discrimination, and even violence due to their sexuality, expression, or gender identity. This harassment significantly increases the likelihood of mental health challenges.
Whether you are dealing with identity or mental health issues due to stigma, it is ideal to consult a professional therapist to help you manage these feelings.
Therapy provides techniques to minimize that stress.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have extensive experience providing therapy to the LGBTQ community. Those in the LBTQ community deserve a safe space to express their feelings and discuss the mental health issues they are struggling with, including identity issues, discrimination, and family dynamics. I strive to provide that space.
I use EMDR therapy, Depth Psychology, and other strength-based interventions to guide my clients in learning healthy coping skills to process negative emotions.
I understand that experiencing stressful events is traumatic and triggering for those in the LGBTQ community, and talking about it can be an intense and overwhelming experience. I strongly believe in a collaborative approach to identifying the triggers and establishing an action plan to improve overall wellness.
Let’s work together to address what troubles you.
You are in charge of your life, and I am here to guide you by offering the support and resources you need to start your journey to a fulfilled life. I can help you with issues like anxiety and depression, exploring your sexuality and gender, family relationships and boundaries, panic attacks, phobias, processing trauma and recovery, relationship problems, and transition support.
After a thorough assessment and discussion during an initial consultation, I establish the appropriate therapy technique to guide your self-discovery and healing journey.
How does LGBTQ therapy help?

For individuals in the LGBTQ community struggling with gender identity, sexual orientation, discrimination, and violence, finding the proper help is integral.
My therapy aims to provide the tools and resources to navigate these changes, identify your triggers, understand your struggle, and guide you toward self-love and acceptance.
LGBTQ therapy allows you to have a reliable, empathetic, and trustworthy therapist as you deal with your struggles. The proper treatment can help you conquer your anxieties and fears as you become the most authentic version of yourself.
