Finding a therapist who both identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community and is truly competent in working with LGBTQ+ clients can be tough-especially in the Denver area. Believe me, there aren’t many of us out there! That’s why I’ve built my practice around affirming and supporting people of all sexual orientations and relationship structures.

People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons-being LGBTQ+ isn’t the “issue,” but it often shapes how we move through the world. Some clients feel misunderstood or isolated by those closest to them. Others come in with questions about their sexual orientation and want a safe place to explore. I work with clients whose sexual orientation has shifted or become clearer over time, including those who notice changes in how they identify after coming out as transgender or nonbinary. While it’s not always talked about, sexual orientation can evolve across a lifetime, and therapy can be a space to make sense of that without judgment.

Some clients bring in partners or family members who are struggling to understand or accept their identity. I’ve supported couples navigating differing levels of “outness,” and families adjusting when a child or parent comes out.

And sometimes, you might just want support for anxiety, grief, trauma, or something else entirely-and would rather not have to explain your identity to your therapist. If you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, queer, or anywhere else on the spectrum, you’ll fit right in here. This is a place where you don’t have to justify who you are. You’re already understood.
