# LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy 

I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your values and identity, and creating space for meaningful dialogue about what matters most to you.

I work with LGBTQIA+ clients of every age: kids and teens figuring themselves out, adults coming out later, partners renegotiating a relationship, and parents who love their child and are lost about what to say next.

You will not be asked to educate me about your identity in order to get help with the thing you came in for. When letters or documentation are part of what you need, see consultation and letters.

In This Work

-   Gender identity and expression
-   Coming out at any age
-   Family and workplace navigation
-   Minority stress and safety planning
-   Support for affirming parents and partners

Next Step

## Start With a Free 30-Minute Call

A short conversation so I can hear what is going on and we can decide together whether this is the right room for it.
