LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Roseville, CA
I have a passion for work centered around the healing of others. I recognize the stigma often associated with mental health, especially within communities of color. Through my therapeutic approach, I strive to create a space in which people can gain an understanding of the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and actions. I support clients in acknowledging larger oppressive systems and their impact on our everyday lives. I honor every person's lived experience, celebrate individual (and cultural) differences, and make every effort to identify and examine my own internal biases to support the growth of my clients.

My approach is trauma-informed, culturally competent, sex-positive, and LGBTQIA-affirming.
You don’t want to feel controlled by this anymore. Maybe it’s a painful past experience—despite your best efforts to move forward, it continues to weigh on you. Perhaps a chapter of life has ended and another started—a breakup, job change, loss, or new child—and you feel like your old ways of doing things aren’t working anymore. And while things might look “okay” from the outside, you don’t feel that way. Your relationships feel disconnected and even managing your day-to-day responsibilities is overwhelming some days. You know something needs to change—and you believe it’s possible—but you need some support to make that happen.

As a clinician, I don’t believe in an ideal client. Every person brings their own story, history, and resilience into therapy, and I feel honored to meet each individual where they are. Many of the clients I work with are navigating eating disorders, body dissatisfaction, trauma, personality disorders, and mood disorders. I also specialize in supporting adult children of narcissistic or emotionally unavailable parents, as well as individuals exploring how family dynamics and parenting styles have shaped their sense of self.

For me, participating in therapy means being captain of your team and taking responsibility for your wellness. Therapy involves hard work, vulnerability, and curiosity which blossoms from a safe space created by both of us. My role as a therapist is to be a team player as you move forward. I will offer compassion, concrete tools, and (sometimes) humor to support you in taking on the captain role. As captain, your job is to practice skills with curiosity and continuously commit to the hard work of being boldly you. That work continues beyond therapy as well. All of you are welcome on the journey forward.

Over human history, people have mostly lived in close-knit communities. This has eroded with the advances in transportation and technology. Most people have lost much of the social support our forebearers enjoyed.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing in Northern California for 20+ years. I believe everyone has inner wisdom that is often difficult to access when we have dealt with trauma, fear, shaming and abuse. My goal is to help clients access the parts of themselves that they feel disconnected from or would like to develop further. I believe very strongly that healing and change are possible at any age! I like to teach skills that help with finding the strong parts of each person, that may have been suppressed or cut off, due to life circumstances.

I don’t believe in “fixing” people or giving one-size-fits-all answers. My role is to partner with you as you uncover your own strength and create change that feels authentic and lasting. Together, we’ll build a safe and supportive space to explore challenges, gain new insights, and develop strategies that truly fit your life. I will guide, encourage, and walk alongside you—but the growth and transformation will be yours, because you chose it, worked for it, and made it real. My goal is to help you feel empowered to own every step of your journey.

My passion is working with LGBTQ+ identifying individuals to gain tools to overcome depression, anxiety, and live out their full potential.
Hello beautiful human, many of us walk through life with self-doubt, fear, and uncertainty that lead to depression and anxiety. I believe we all have the right to heal and each have the resources, tools, and strength within ourselves to do so. I find it valuable to explore thought work and consider how thoughts are impacting our functioning. This helps to then gain tools and skills on how we can intervene and support ourselves for long-lasting growth. I take on a Feminist approach to recognize how power and oppression impacts our lives and we can gain tools to disrupt and endeavor for change.

My goal is to guide my clients to be their genuine selves, to feeling whole and complete. Helping my clients reach their fullest potential is the most rewarding feeling. The journey to being who we are rather than who others would like us to be, behaving in a manner that exemplifies self-love, self-worth, and confidence is a daily task that requires re-committing each day. The wounds of yesterday must be healed in order to move forward. I believe the client determines the direction and pace to which we accomplish this knowing all the while, self-discovery and actualization is never ending.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
