LGBTQ

After a long period of gains in LGBTQ+ rights, we are now seeing them attacked and destroyed at an alarming rate. Support is more important than ever. A knowledgeable and experienced therapist can be a big part of your support system. I have worked with people who are gay, bi, pan, poly, trans, queer, and more. I am here for you. 

​

Sexual Diversity

​Your sexual identity comes from within and no one has the right to tell you who you are. Your sexual activity is also no one's business but your own (as long as it only involves consenting adults, of course!). Therapy should never involve judgment. 

​

Gender Diversity

I have worked with trans people of all ages for over 15 years. They have come to me pre-transition as well as at various stages of transition. I start where you are and support you through your journey. If your choice is not to transition, that's okay too. Only YOU know who you are and how you want to live. I just want to be a safe space for you.
