A space where you can show up fully — no code-switching, no shrinking, no masks.

Whether you’re exploring your gender, navigating your sexual orientation, or building relationships outside the “traditional” mold, therapy should be a place where you feel affirmed — not questioned. Unfortunately, too many people spend sessions educating their therapist instead of getting the support they deserve.

I provide identity-affirming, relationship-affirming therapy for:

  • LGBTQIA+ clients of all genders and sexual orientations

  • People in polyamorous or consensually non-monogamous (CNM) relationships

  • Individuals exploring or embracing kink or BDSM identities

  • Anyone navigating intersections of identity, culture, faith, and community

My Approach

This work isn’t just “inclusive” — it’s centered on your lived experience. You set the pace, the language, and the boundaries. My role is to:

  • Provide culturally competent, affirming care that reflects your reality

  • Help you navigate minority stress, discrimination, and internalized stigma

  • Explore identity, relationships, and intimacy without pathologizing who you are

  • Offer a collaborative space for self-discovery, self-compassion, and growth

What We Might Work On

  • Coming out or identity transitions

  • Relationship agreements and communication in polyamory or CNM

  • Healing from identity-based trauma or rejection

  • Building community and support networks

  • Navigating family, workplace, or societal challenges

Your identity isn’t the problem — the problem is finding spaces where it’s honored. Here, you can be your full self.
