LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Pueblo West, CO
You may find yourself caught in an anxious loop—ruminating, fortune-telling, and feeling stuck in patterns you can’t quite shift. My clients are adults who struggle with chronic anxiety, low self-esteem, self-doubt, and relationship wounds. They feel pressure in their bodies, racing thoughts in their minds, and a sense that something important is missing.
Many of the people I work with want to slow down and be more present—but without guilt or the weight of feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotions. They’re seeking not just relief, but a deeper, more grounded connection to themselves and their lives.

I work with individuals who are feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from themselves, or navigating significant life transitions. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, burnout, self-esteem, identity concerns, and emotional stress while trying to balance the demands of everyday life. My approach is integrative, supportive, and empowerment-focused, helping clients to build resilience, self-awareness, confidence, and healthier ways of coping and connecting with themselves. Therapy with me is not perfection; it's about reconnection and regulation.

Over the past (almost) 2 decades I have worked with people who are focused on personal growth and healing. My passion is helping you gain freedom from the past, heal trauma, improve relationships, strengthen self-worth, and create a life you are excited to wake up to. I work from a holistic perspective meaning we will talk about sleep, nutrition, relationships, health history, family dynamics (past and current), nervous system, and so much more. Healing is multifaceted and it's not one size fits all ;) I enjoy bringing humor into sessions, along with my experience of working with teens for over a decade and parenting expertise.

I specialize in trauma recovery, EMDR, and culturally rooted care for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and kink-aware communities.
You’ve experienced trauma that runs deep—childhood abuse, sexual violence, emotional neglect, or identity struggles. You may feel like you’re constantly in survival mode, holding it all together for everyone else while falling apart inside. You want peace, boundaries, clarity, and to stop carrying generational pain that was never yours to begin with. You’re done masking, done people-pleasing, and done minimizing your pain. You’re ready to heal for real.

I support individuals navigating addiction, grief, and identity exploration, including LGBTQIA experiences.
I am down to earth and very open. My clients tend to be individuals who are used to holding everything together but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted. Many are navigating addiction/recovery, grief, identity exploration, or major life transitions. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to process what they are experiencing, build insight and develop practical tools to move forward with more clarity and stability. That being said, I am also here to provide services to anyone seeking support. I have experience working with first responders as well as veterans.

Both myself and most of my clients identify with the intersections of neurodivergence, disability, trauma, moral injury, and the LGBTQ+ community.
My orientation integrates somatics, yoga, Acu-Therapy, mindfulness, and is informed by Internal Family Systems, ACT, narrative therapy, and is actively decolonizing. I draw heavily from nature-based practices and incorporate psychedelic-assisted care into my work.

You feel like your emotions control you, not the other way around. Maybe you grew up with parents who dismissed your feelings, made you feel like you were "too much," or left you walking on eggshells. Now, you struggle with guilt, setting boundaries, or trusting yourself. You don’t want to stay stuck in old patterns, but change feels overwhelming. I help adults untangle complicated emotions and family dynamics using trauma-informed DBT. Together, we’ll build the skills to regulate emotions, break unhealthy cycles, and create a life that feels like your own.

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.
