I practice from a judgment-free, sex-positive, queer-aligned perspective that encourages clients to view themselves holistically.
Many individuals go through periods of their life where they are searching for a deeper, more meaningful understanding of who they are as a person. I enjoy working with clients who are navigating this phase of life as it can be so rewarding to see the transformational changes that my clients make. I invite you to explore the meaning and correlation between topics like anxiety, communication, family, and work to your relationship with substance use, grief, sex, identity, trauma, and/or new medical diagnoses.

I specialize in working with gay and queer populations on a range of experiences from general life transitions to grief and death, anxiety and low mood, self-esteem and self-concept, and sex and relationships.
Finding the right therapist is often the hardest part of therapy. I believe that life is about relationships and that mental health is relational health, so I aim to create a dynamic and expansive environment where you can show up as your most authentic self as we explore the contexts, cultures, and intersections that shape your life. Together we will explore your struggles, successes, hopes, and fears with curiosity, compassion, and courage.

When facing life's difficult challenges, it is good to know that there are places that you can turn to for help and guidance. However, finding a gay therapist can be anxiety producing because when people decide they would benefit from seeing a therapist, they are often experiencing significant upset in their lives. This is usually not the ideal moment to be dealing with the stress involved in finding someone with whom it feels safe and right to be vulnerable.

As an Asian queer therapist, I recognize the limitations of contemporary psychotherapy due to its Eurocentric, heteronormative, and pathological foundations.
In a city where millions of people pretend to be someone they are not, an authentic self might be the most luxurious thing for one to own and celebrate. However, I believe that we can still make it without having to fake it. I am here to hold space for you to express, explore, and embrace yourself. By providing a judgement-free, gender-expansive, culturally-responsive, and trauma-informed environment, I hope to help you transform moments of challenge into opportunities for empowerment.

Life is challenging, and sometimes we need extra support to help cope with life's difficulties. Whether you're looking for someone to talk about life's big questions (Who am I? Why am I here? What ought I to do? What meaning can be found in the universe?) or to feel relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, we can work together to help you meet your therapy goals. Since entering the social work field, I’ve worked with diverse populations in community mental health clinics, nonprofits, research centers, colleges, and hospitals, and have particular experience working with LGBTQ people and college-age students.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I have also experienced challenges in finding my place.
In the eyes of others, you present as confident, successful & outgoing, but inside, you struggle with anxiety and feelings of inadequacy. You often feel like your friends and peers seem to have it figured out, but you don't. Maintaining relationships, both romantic and platonic has been a challenge. Understanding your own needs and wants can feel trivial. You're feeling isolated, despite being surrounded. You want to feel more secure and balanced.

I'm a trans, queer, Mexican-American therapist who works from an attuned, responsive, and relationship oriented approach. As all of us have a tendency to get lost in a narrative or storyline, I invite clients to slow down with me and get intimate with their direct experience—the raging emotions in the body, the coming and going of thoughts, the feeling of shaky vulnerability, the rage, the loneliness—honoring it all and creating a safe holding space for these lost emotions, perhaps for the first time ever. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer end-of-life support, and coaching.

I utilize affirming frameworks that: embrace LGBTQ+ identity and sex and kink positivity in monogamous or alternative relationship structures, manage negative consequences associated with drug use through a Harm Reduction paradigm, and help heal past trauma through grounding and mindfulness practices.
Guided introspection leading to actionable connections is a tonic in an increasingly isolating, and volatile world. Whether this is your first time in therapy or another chapter on your quest for fulfillment in relationship with yourself and others, I am dedicated to meeting you where you are. Together we will bear witness to joys and challenges of being a human in our modern society, and celebrate the richness of humanity. As a trained couples and family therapist, I utilize a variety of theories integrating my past experience in both the performing arts and as a yoga instructor to provide a creative, holistic experience.

As an Asian-American gay man who grew up in the US South, I knew from a young age that I lived in a world that did not offer me freedom to author my narrative. Thus, I am passionate about building critical consciousness, self-awareness, and self-confidence to counteract oppression and live in the world with empowerment and authenticity. I am privileged and honored to use my experience to heal any client who has ever felt marginalized, outcasted, or misunderstood simply for "not fitting into boxes." If you are ready to live for yourself rather than for the limiting expectations of society, then I am looking forward to collaborating.

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.
