LGBTQIA+

Exploring your identity and living authentically can be deeply fulfilling—but it can also bring challenges when faced with judgment, stigma, or lack of understanding. For many LGBTQ+ individuals, these experiences can lead to anxiety, depression, or a sense of isolation. While external validation can help, true healing comes from within—by cultivating self-acceptance, confidence, and inner peace. Therapy offers a safe and affirming space to explore who you are, free from judgment and rooted in respect and compassion.

In my practice, I integrate evidence-based approaches to support growth and healing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you challenge internalized shame and develop new ways of thinking that promote self-worth. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) allows space to process painful experiences and strengthen your connection to yourself and others. Affirmative Therapy centers your identity as a source of strength and resilience, providing tools to navigate discrimination, family conflict, or societal pressure. Together, these approaches help you move from self-doubt toward empowerment and authenticity.

When we work together, you’ll be supported in:

• Healing from shame and rejection while developing deeper self-acceptance
• Learning coping skills to manage stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms
• Building resilience to navigate external pressures and social challenges
• Exploring identity, values, and relationships in a safe and affirming environment
• Cultivating confidence to live authentically and meaningfully

Therapy is not about changing who you are—it’s about embracing every part of yourself with compassion. Together, we’ll work toward a place where you can feel grounded, proud, and connected to the life you want to live.
