LGBTQ Parenting
Parenting in today's complex and layered culture can be a challenge! While the prevailing profession opinion is that a parent's sexual orientation or gender identity has nothing to do with your ability to be a good parent, LGBTQ parenting can have additional challenges that you want support for. Providing supportive, affirming environment where you can find the support and information you desire to keep your families and partnerships strong.
LGBTQ Affirming
My approach to therapy that embraces a positive view of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) identities and relationships and addresses the negative influences that homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism have on the lives of my LGBTQ clients
My Therapy
Depression & Anxiety
At some point in our lives, many of us will experience depression, fear, and anxiety. These are some of the most common, yet uncomfortable emotions we can have. However, through counseling and treatment, you can recover your motivation, perspective, and joy.
Trauma & PTSD
Many individuals experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Trauma & PTSD can come in the form of both large traumatic events and repeated smaller traumatic ones. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger from post traumatic events. Together, we can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of healing.
Relationships
Counseling can be beneficial to couples, polyamorous relationtionships, and families, who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection in all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions are held in a supportive environment to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen your relationship.
