If you’re looking for LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy in Santa Monica, you deserve a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported exactly as you are. I work with individuals across Santa Monica and West Los Angeles who are exploring identity, navigating relationships, and seeking a deeper sense of self-acceptance and belonging.

Support for LGBTQIA+ Individuals Navigating Identity, Stress, and Relationships

LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy provides a compassionate, non-judgmental space for individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, or other identities within the LGBTQIA+ community.

Many LGBTQIA+ individuals in Santa Monica and the greater Los Angeles area navigate unique experiences, including identity exploration, coming out, minority stress, family acceptance, relationship challenges, and the emotional impact of discrimination or isolation.

These experiences can feel complex and, at times, overwhelming—but you don’t have to navigate them alone.

I offer LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy in Santa Monica where clients are welcomed exactly as they are.

Therapy can provide a supportive space to:

• Explore your identity in a safe and affirming environment

• Process experiences related to coming out or self-discovery

• Navigate relationships, family dynamics, and boundaries

• Work through anxiety, depression, or minority stress

• Build confidence, resilience, and self-acceptance

My Approach to LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy

My approach is grounded in creating a space where you feel respected, understood, and supported without judgment.

I integrate psychodynamic therapy with evidence-based approaches to help you explore your experiences, understand patterns, and develop tools for navigating challenges. Together, we focus on strengthening self-awareness, building emotional resilience, and supporting you in living more authentically.

I aim to provide a therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to show up fully as yourself.
