Queer-Affirming Therapy in Portland, OR

Affirming support for LGBTQIA+ adults navigating identity, relationships, and healing

As a queer therapist, I understand the importance of working with someone who truly gets it. Therapy can be a powerful space for LGBTQIA+ folks to explore identity, build self-trust, and heal from the impact of growing up in a world that often doesn’t reflect or support who we are. Whether you’re unpacking internalized messages, navigating chosen family, exploring gender or sexuality, or just wanting to talk to someone who speaks your language-you’re in the right place.

You don’t have to over-explain here.

So many queer clients tell me they’ve had to educate past therapists about basic concepts around gender, sexuality, or community culture. That’s not the case here. You can bring your full self into the room without fear of being misunderstood or pathologized.

Queer affirming therapy in Portland, OR.

Queer therapy can support you with:

  • Understanding and expressing your gender or sexual identity

  • Healing from family rejection or religious trauma

  • Building self-worth and creating boundaries in relationships

  • Navigating dating, polyamory, or queer partnership

  • Making peace with your body and cultivating safety within it

  • Managing anxiety, depression, or trauma symptoms from marginalization or discrimination

  • Creating a life that reflects your values and truth

This work isn’t about fixing who you are. It’s about unlearning the stories that told you you had to be someone else.
