When Everything Feels Overwhelming
Everyone seems to have it together while you’re just trying to make it through the day without crying. Trans, cis, gay, femme, masc, nonbinary—navigating the constant push and pull between acceptance and rejection of LGBTQIA+ identities can leave you feeling confused, anxious, and alone. Your parents and friends ask what’s wrong, but where do you even start? Social anxiety, microaggressions, existential dread—it’s overwhelming, and there often aren’t words big enough to capture what you’re carrying. You’re searching for grounding, guidance, and a space that truly sees you.
Healing Through Creative Expression
You don’t need to be an artist to benefit from creative expression in therapy. In fact, it’s often through artmaking, storytelling, and reflection that clients discover who they are and where they belong. My approach is trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and rooted in queer liberation—because your healing deserves a space where your whole self is welcome.
Let’s Take the First Step Together
Finding calm in the storm starts with claiming your voice and building confidence in who you are. The work isn’t always easy, but it’s easier when you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re looking for LGBTQ+ affirming counseling or art therapy, I’d love to connect. Reach out today for a free consultation—let’s start the journey together.
Queer-Affirming Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
As a queer, LGBTQ+ therapist, I know healing begins with connection and creativity. In individual therapy, I help clients build tools to feel steady in the chaos. Through affirming talk therapy and art therapy for LGBTQ+ clients, you’ll have space to explore feelings beyond words, process trauma, and find new ways to express yourself. Together, we’ll dismantle the barriers holding you back—the ones placed on you by society, and the ones you’ve had to build to survive.
