LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Raleigh, NC
I most often work with LGBTQIA+ adults who are experiencing anxiety, trauma, or adjustment to life transitions/college.
Being human is tough! Each day it seems like there is something new to worry about. The world is falling apart, and the systems we live in are broken. The "This is fine" meme might be feeling a little too real. All the while, you’re just trying to exist and succeed at college and/or work, explore identity in a world that isn’t affirming, heal from difficult past experiences, or maintain the relationships and activities that are important to you. Anxiety, stress, trauma, and marginalization are all competing with what you want to focus on in your life. If this sounds familiar, then hi!

As a queer therapist, I understand the unique challenges and traumas of living authentically in a world that often marginalizes our identities.
I have experience counseling individuals diagnosed with mental health conditions for four years. I am an EMDR trained therapist (LCSWA) that specializes in LGBTQIA+ affirmative and trauma-informed care for adults with PTSD/CPTSD, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, ADHD, autism, or wanting to find their authentic selves.

My passion is working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples.
In today’s society we get so much confusing and contradicting information about therapy and growth. With all my clients, I see them as the experts of their own life and aim to create a supportive space for vulnerability and radical acceptance. If they are struggling to find to their inner voice, I work with them to do this by processing their life experiences and trauma. By following a person centered and eclectic strategy, we develop tools for a deeper self-understanding of their needs and boundaries. I love working with individuals, parents, and couples to become comfortable with self-acceptance and emotions.

I am passionate about working with marginalized persons, including the LGBTQ and BIPOC communities.
Life is a funny thing. And often terribly complicated. During our journey in this world, we often face challenges that can feel too big or ongoing. Whether it’s with chronic feelings of anxiousness, depression, emptiness, issues about sexual orientation, gender, or ethnicity, relationship conflict, sleep disturbances, substance misuse, school or work issues, or any combination of those, many of us struggle silently. But you don't have to. It can help to work with a therapist with a deep understanding of what it’s like with some of those struggles and who is passionate about helping others learn to thrive despite these adversities.

I am a white, queer, non-binary therapist.
One of the most incredible gifts we can offer ourselves is the curiosity and courage to look inward. However, this is often so much easier said than done. We live in a world where it’s easy to internalize shame and misinformation about sex and sexuality and talking about it can feel taboo. As your therapist, my goal is to build a supportive, safe environment to explore notions of sexuality and intimacy with curiosity rather than judgment or shame. In our space together, vulnerability, trust, and self-compassion will be nurtured – and celebrated!

I work with adult clients with various backgrounds and experiences focusing on concerns of depression, relationship challenges, neurodivergence, cultural and LGBTQ+ identity, sexuality, burnout, life transitions, and self-acceptance.
Do you sometimes worry if who you are is "wrong," stuck focusing on harmful messages or unrealistic expectations? Do you feel a little lost in who you are and what you want, then find thinking about it gets overwhelming? If there are times when life feels heavy or you feel like hiding away until you're "put together," you are not alone. It helps to have a space to put life's many complexities aside - to take the rules, systemic barriers, and needs of yourself and others, put them all down, breathe, and unpack. Looking for that space is a big step. I'm here to create that space with you.
