LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Superior, CO
I have special interests working with the LGBTQ+ community, consensual non-monogamy, human potential/self-actualization, and mindfulness-based stress reduction.
Life is complex. It can be difficult to gain clarity as to what we want... what we need... where we want to go. The human experience is unique, which is why I approach counseling with open curiosity, authenticity, acceptance, and radical presence to join those seeking to expand awareness and make meaningful change in a supportive, empowering space.

There's an aspect of you that is already whole and complete, our work simply reconnects you with that. Sometimes you touch it when you're at your best. I know that you've felt it in moments of unexpected clarity: those passing seconds where you see your life in fullness. A sentence or two that came out of your mouth with a kind of confidence that feels unfamiliar. A brief sense of your own sacred, unique place in this world. Then it's gone, replaced again by a gray fog of pattern, habit, and repetition.
What you feel is not an illusion. It's your true self, knocking at the door of your attention. Are you ready to open that door>

Find meaningful change, new perspectives, and a clear path forward. Struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, loneliness, unhelpful patterns, or unresolved trauma can become barriers to a fulfilling and connected life. Many come to therapy feeling stuck, exhausted, and disconnected from themselves, their values, and others. Trauma keeps the score; however, healing is possible. I offer evidenced based, integrative tools and techniques to help you find your path toward wellness for the whole person. The invitation is open. You are welcome into this space to be seen, heard, and accepted with compassion and presence.

Whether you’re trying to manage an increase in anxiety, work through past trauma, or figure out how to deal with life's curveballs, I am here to help. Maybe you're struggling with how to navigate school or work demands, perhaps questioning your identity and life's purpose, or wanting to find a way to be kinder to yourself. Life often has a way of holding us down, not allowing us to see clearly, and we end up being consumed by worries and doubts. This can alter our reality and we become lost to the whole picture. A picture that shows us a life full of potential, hope and kindness.

My goal is to help you move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed toward a greater sense of clarity, stability, and self-trust.

Perhaps you are a woman in perimenopause or menopause, someone experiencing a radical life transition, divorcing, uncovering your true gender, feeling deeply disconnected or uncomfortable, moving through trauma, acutely suffering, or just confused about what you’re experiencing as you shift from one stage in life to the next. You can be well supported while navigating a path to feeling whole, healthy, and connected.
Therapy offers something insight alone cannot: a space in which to explore the darkest corners of your being, practice relational health, grow, and choose how to move forward into your future with conscious intention.

Do you feel stuck in survival mode—avoiding connection, overachieving to feel worthy, or struggling with push-pull patterns rooted in attachment wounds? Perhaps relationships feel unstable, you fear abandonment, or setting boundaries brings guilt. Or maybe you’re struggling to move forward after a traumatic event, with intrusive memories, intense reactions, or avoiding reminders of what happened. Trauma can shape how you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you. I help clients understand these patterns, reduce overwhelm, process painful experiences, and build healthier, more secure connections.

I believe therapy should be results-oriented, collaborative, and intellectually engaging while still deeply human. My work is about helping you understand yourself more authentically, reconnect with your heart and nervous system, and build a life that is more values-oriented, steady, and meaningful. Together, we’ll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck whether that’s anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, substance use, ADHD, shame, or grief and work toward practical, sustainable change. You’ll be met with respect, honesty, and compassion, and you’ll feel seen and heard in a space that’s confidential and judgment-free.

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.
