LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy for Sexuality, Identity & Relationships
Therapy Without Judgment About Who You Are or How You Love
Sexuality and identity can be deeply personal. Therapy should provide a place where you can explore those parts of yourself without having to defend, explain, or justify who you are. I provide LGBTQ+ affirming and sex-positive therapy for adults exploring sexuality, relationships, intimacy, identity, and the ways these experiences intersect with mental health.

Affirming Does Not Mean Prescriptive
Your relationships and sexuality do not need to look a particular way for therapy to be useful. My role is not to tell you what your relationship, sexuality, or identity should look like. It is to help you understand yourself, communicate your needs, navigate relationships, and make choices that are consistent with your values.
