LGBTQ+ and gender affirming therapy available online for adults in Seattle, New York City, Brooklyn, and surrounding areas.
I work with LGBTQ+ clients navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, intersectional identities, family relationships, sex and romantic relationships, and HIV. We’ll move at your pace, and I won’t assume your story based on a label or acronym.
As a gay therapist, I specialize in providing affirming therapy and support for:
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, and queer individuals
Transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming adults
Those in monogamous, polyamorous, and consensual non-monogamous relationships
What LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy Means:
LGBTQ+ Affirming therapy is more than a rainbow flag. It includes:
Naming the impact of homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, racism, and other forms of oppression on your mental health and lived experience.
Giving you a space where you don’t have to hide or downplay your identity to feel safe talking about what’s going on.
Helping you unpack shame and internalized stigma, and supporting you in building a life that actually fits you, not just what other people think you should be.
Staying curious about the intersections of your identities (race, class, gender, disability, immigration, religion) instead of flattening you into one box.
Things We Might Work On
Coming out (or not coming out), navigating family or community, and renegotiating relationships.
Sorting through gender, sexuality, and identity questions (including “Do I even count as queer/trans?”).
Navigating friendships, dating, sex, and romantic relationships.
Working through shame or trauma related to sexuality, gender, religion, culture, and HIV status.
Coping with daily stressors like misgendering, microaggressions, or feeling invisible in work, school, or medical settings.
Building self‑acceptance, confidence, and making room for joy and celebration,
You don’t have to know exactly what you want from therapy before starting. We can figure it out together.
