True connection only happens when you let people into the places you normally keep hidden. If you’re a member of the LGBTQ+ community, you’ve probably been hiding a lot of who you are – maybe for a very long time. After all, if they can’t see you, they can’t hurt you. It’s a coping mechanism, but as you know, it’s not a viable long-term strategy for living a full, authentic life. You can’t experience intimacy and healthy relationships when you’re not fully showing up as yourself, which leaves you lonely, isolated, and disconnected. It’s no wonder LGBTQ+ individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Let’s dive into what caused you to shrink into a “more digestible version” of yourself. By deconstructing those experiences, you’ll gain insight into your negative thoughts and emotions. That’s the first step toward healing. We’ll then give you tools to manage anxiety and depression so you can feel grounded and energized for the next chapter of your life.
A big part of how you think and feel right now developed out of your need to “stay small” to survive. Now that you’ve survived, those patterns no longer serve you. You need new perspectives and skills to release the negativity and start living authentically and unapologetically. You can do this! Reach out today for your free consultation.

I use a trauma informed approach in my practice. In your first session, we'll get to know each other and explore what brought you to therapy and your therapy goals. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those intrusive, negative thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
