LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy in Denver
You deserve a therapist who understands your identity as part of who you are, not something to explain or defend. I offer affirming counseling for LGBTQIA+ adults and couples.
What we might work on
- Identity exploration, coming out and self-acceptance
- Family, cultural or religious rejection
- Minority stress, discrimination and trauma
- Relationships and partnership
- Gender identity and navigating systems
- Anxiety, depression and addiction recovery
What affirming care means here
Your pronouns, relationships and identity are respected from the first contact. You set the pace and the focus. My approach is trauma-informed and draws on EMDR, DBT, ACT and CBT, with attention to how stress from the world around you shows up in your body and relationships.
Questions about affirming therapy
Do you work with LGBTQIA+ couples?
Yes. Couples counseling uses Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman-based tools for all couples.
