Queer-Centered Counseling

Welcome to a space where your gender identity and sexual orientation are not just acknowledged, but celebrated. As a queer, non-binary counselor, I bring some of my own understanding of the queer experience to my practice and advocate for a world where all identities are honored and affirmed and all people are safer and able to belong.

Embracing Queer Identities

Queer-centered counseling recognizes the rich diversity of gender and sexual identities within the LGBTQIA+ community and that each person within the community has their own unique experiences and concerns contextualized by the intersectionality of their identities. At a time when queer people continuously face discrimination, violence, and suppression, we need to have validation of our entire experience in a safe and open space. My approach is intersectional, recognizing the unique challenges faced by queer people of color, disabled queers, and other marginalized groups within the community.

Queer-Centered Counseling Approach

I prioritize creating a safe, validating, and affirming space for clients of all gender and sexual identities. This means:

• Celebrating Diversity: Embracing the diverse spectrum of queer identities, experiences, and expressions.
• Empowering Authenticity: Supporting you in exploring and embracing your true self, free from societal expectations and norms.
• Ensuring Accessibility: Providing therapy that is accessible and inclusive, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, or other individual needs.
• Advocating for Justice: Fighting alongside you for LGBTQIA+ rights, visibility, and dignity in all aspects of life.

You may be navigating the complexities of coming out, exploring your gender identity, or dealing with discrimination and prejudice. Perhaps you're struggling with internalized homophobia, transphobia, or other forms of oppression. Maybe your struggles seem completely unrelated to your gender or sexuality. Whatever your journey, I'm here to provide support, understanding, and affirmation.

We are all inherently worthy of love (from both ourselves and others). In our work, we will find ways to reclaim the fullness of who you are and safe ways of living courageously.
