LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Frederick, CO
I’m honored to work with people feeling heartache inside the constraints of our modern world. Through conditioning + relational wounding we temporarily lose touch with the innate wisdom of our souls + bodies. Life can feel chaotic and daunting - we question ourselves and can lack the feeling of vitality. If you long to experience belonging as your true self I’m here to guide you back to safety in relationship with yourself, your body + others. I was brought to this meaningful work through personal experience of rising above trauma. I’m devoted to helping others out of the depths of struggle + into fulfillment & connection.

My specialties are wide ranging and include but are not limited to: anxiety, depression, self-harm, LGBTQIA+ population, neurodiversity, trauma, and more.
I provide a safe and welcoming space where I will work with you to help you learn to challenge problematic dynamics, brainstorm reasonable solutions, and implement lasting change. I believe that every person has the capacity to change, and recognize that sometimes we all feel stuck. My role is to walk alongside you as you forge your own path out of that "stuck" place, and help you show up as your authentic self in every area of life. In our sessions you can expect warmth, empathy, validation, and humor as I show up as my authentic self as well. Cursing included at times!

My approach is grounded in post-modern, antiracist, decolonial, queer, and feminist frameworks.
Sometimes life throws us into situations we never imagined facing. As a trauma therapist, I focus on helping clients uncover the deeper roots of what holds them back from living as their most authentic selves. When we endure hardship, our bodies often cling to the survival tools that got us through—even when those tools no longer serve us. Sometimes they fit the moment; other times, they can make things more difficult. In our work together, we'll gently slow things down, explore what truly works for you, and begin the shift from automatic reactions to intentional responses.

Do you feel like you're living behind a wall of past trauma, even when you're doing your best to move forward?

By exploring your internal world with curiosity and compassion, we work collaboratively to heal the root causes of distress.

If you're a woman who feels like you're constantly holding it together for everyone else — managing anxiety that never quite turns off, working through the weight of past trauma, navigating a relationship that isn't feeling like a partnership anymore, or moving through a depression that makes even small tasks feel enormous — you don't have to carry it alone. Many of the women I work with are exhausted from being the strong one. They're ready for a space where they can finally put it down, be fully seen, and start feeling like themselves again.

Are anxiety, depression, and trauma creating roadblocks in your life? Does it feel like there is a disconnect between you and the world around you? It is normal for the trauma stored in your body to create barriers to connection. Unfortunately, these barriers can be incredibly painful and difficult to cope with. You may be experiencing cycles of painful thoughts, days of numbness, or outbursts of anger.

I believe psychotherapy can help with almost anything. Sometimes clients come in needing assistance with making a tough decision, while other times they’re needing tools to help better cope with anxiety or depression. I feel called to work with younger folks - children and adolescents specifically. I typically see children who are experiencing familial issues, ADHD, learning difficulties, and behavioral issues. Adolescence can be uncomfortable and confusing. It is a painful time for teenagers. I am deeply passionate about providing them with unconditional support, empathy, and a safe space to share their emotions.

I practice person-centered therapy, which means that I aim to create a therapeutic environment of empathy, acceptance, and authenticity. During sessions, I give suggestions about techniques to try and skills to practice, but I believe my clients are the experts on their lives and what works best for them. My goal is to empower my clients to determine how they want to move forward rather than telling them what to do. I strive not to judge my clients for their actions; instead, I help them uncover the underlying thoughts and motivations behind their behaviors.

I am queer, non-judgmental, and semi-hip.
You find yourself constantly avoiding triggers, unable to go certain places or do things that remind you of your unresolved hurt - a lost relationship, childhood abandonment, the death of someone you love dearly. You feel limited and held back by your painful past. You get sucked into self help videos on Tik-Tok looking for a solution and find yourself feeling empty after hours of scrolling. Together we can face the past head on. I guide clients to work through past hurt and do the work to heal. My clients finish therapy confident, emotionally healthy, and free to move forward into a hopeful future.

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.
