LGBTQIA+

I am dedicated to understanding and educating myself about the diverse issues affecting the LGBTQIA+ communities. Each group within the LGBTQIA+ community faces unique challenges, experiences, and joys, and individuals perceive their gender and sexual orientation through the lens of various external factors and identities. Our identities are complex, and everyone deserves to feel validated and heard.

Even if your therapy goals do not directly relate to your sexual or gender identity, a safe and accepting space is crucial for effective treatment. Members of marginalized groups often experience significant stress, compounded by higher rates of discrimination, bullying, and oppression. Consequently, the LGBTQIA+ community faces increased rates of anxiety, depression, suicidality, and other mental health challenges. These traumatic experiences can have lasting effects on how you navigate the world and interact with others. However, healing is possible, and a therapist can be an invaluable resource in your journey toward positive change and self-discovery.
