Many people have to choose between safety and living their lives authentically. Maybe you can relate; you hide parts of who you are to protect yourself from invalidation, discrimination, or rejection. We all need safe places and safe people. Therapy can provide that sense of safety to allow you to be who you truly are and empower you to move towards the life you want to live. It can be scary reaching out to a new therapist, and it can be a wonderful gift to yourself. I believe that you deserve kindness, peace of mind and support. Therapy can be the first step in your journey of self-acceptance and being your authentic self.
I am a licensed master's level psychologist (LMLP) who specializes in LGBTQ+ care. I provide individual therapy for adults, teens and children at Affirming Therapy, LLC, a gender-affirming and inclusive private practice. My practice is trauma-informed and prioritizes diversity. I am also available to write doctoral-level letters for gender-affirming care.
The LGBTQ+ community is close to my heart, because I identify within the community. I'm an advocate for my clients in and out of the office. I'm here to hear your story and support you in your journey.
