LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy offers a safe, supportive space to explore your identity, relationships, and experiences without having to explain or defend who you are. As a queer therapist, I approach this work with openness, humor, and deep respect for your story — creating space for both healing and celebration in living authentically.
Because being yourself shouldn’t require a translation.
So many letters, so little time.
So how do I know which one I am? And even if I do, what am I supposed to do with that information?! These questions can feel confusing, liberating, or both — and they’re exactly the kinds of things we can unpack in therapy.

If you’re exploring identity or looking for support, here are some helpful LGBTQIA+ resources and local services:
• GLAAD – Glossary of LGBTQ Terms
• National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center (Spanish Available)
• Human Rights Campaign – Resources
• Resource Center Dallas – Adult Empowerment Services
Hopefully, these links offer a starting point. The queer spectrum is wide — but the experiences within it are even wider.
My approach focuses on reclaiming your sense of self: exploring identity, setting boundaries, healing internalized messages, and creating relationships that feel safe and affirming.
And while we honor the hard parts, we also celebrate what makes our community extraordinary — the creativity, resilience, love, and humor that have always been sources of strength. My goal is to help you reconnect with those parts of yourself — to feel grounded, proud, and at peace in who you are, through affirming LGBTQIA+ therapy rooted in compassion and connection.
Therapy is for the gays!
Whether you’re out and proud, questioning your identity, or somewhere in between, therapy offers a space to process the many layers of what it means to live authentically — from identity and relationships to community and belonging.
For LGBTQIA+ folks, therapy can feel different. There’s an unspoken “knowing”— an understanding that comes from shared experiences and a mutual recognition of what it means to navigate the world as queer. As a queer therapist, I value that connection deeply. It creates space for honesty, humor, and relief — knowing you don’t have to explain every part of yourself to be understood.
Many LGBTQIA+ clients come to therapy carrying the weight of otherness, rejection, or chronic self-doubt. These experiences often show up as anxiety, depression, trauma, or body image struggles — not because of who we are, but because of the environments we’ve had to navigate.
Therapy can be one of the places where you practice (re)connecting — where you build confidence, clarity, and joy in being fully you. You deserve a space where your whole self is seen and celebrated — not just accepted. I provide LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy for adults and young adults across Texas, including Dallas, Plano, and surrounding areas. Virtual sessions are also available for clients throughout the state.
You don’t have to face this alone. Let’s start your (re)connecting together.
