LGBTQ+ Affirming & Queer Identity Counseling

As an LGBTQ+ owned practice, I offer therapy where you do not have to translate or defend your identity. This space is built with queer and questioning adults in mind, including those who are also navigating trauma, ADHD, or complex family histories. All of your identities, relationships, and ways of moving through the world are welcome here.

I support clients around sexuality, gender, and relationship structures, whether you are just beginning to question, are well-established in your identity, or are somewhere in between. That can mean unpacking internalized shame, healing from religious or cultural rejection, or finding language that feels right for you. For transgender and gender-expansive clients, I offer gender-affirming counseling and can collaborate with other providers as needed. Many queer clients also want support around relationships, including polyamory and ethical non-monogamy. Together, we can look at communication, boundaries, jealousy, compersion, and navigating differing needs, all through a lens that respects your values rather than trying to fit you into traditional scripts.

My work is trauma-informed and grounded in modalities like Internal Family Systems, which can be especially helpful if parts of you feel hopeful and proud, while other parts carry fear, grief, or doubt. Sessions are 60 minutes and available virtually across Arizona and Washington State, with in-person appointments near Scottsdale.

If you have been harmed or dismissed in previous medical or mental health settings, it is completely understandable to be cautious. A free consultation gives you a chance to share what you are looking for, name any concerns, and feel out whether I might be a good fit for the kind of affirming, nuanced support you deserve.
