You shouldn't have to explain or justify who you are before you can start feeling better. I work with adults who are carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, or PTSD, and a lot of them are also figuring out how to feel safe and seen as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. As someone who is part of that community myself, creating a space where you don't have to translate your experience for me is at the center of how I practice.
Together we build real, practical skills for navigating what feels unmanageable right now, whether that's a flood of anxious thoughts, a depression that won't lift, or trauma that keeps resurfacing when you least expect it. I go deep on trauma recovery and anxiety because that is where I see clients make the clearest, most lasting progress. We will set clear goals early on, and you will walk away with tools you can actually use, not just language for your feelings. I tend to work best with clients who want a collaborative partner rather than someone who just nods along, and who are ready to be direct about what is and is not working.
Our first session is really just us getting to know each other. I want to understand what brought you in and what you are hoping is different six months from now, and from there we shape the plan together. There is no pressure to have it all figured out before you reach out. If any of this sounds like what you need, I would love to hear from you.
