Testimonials
Here’s what some of my clients have said about their experience working with me in therapy.
ONLINE THERAPY FOR TRANS PEOPLE
As a trans-friendly therapist, I offer a respectful and affirming space for trans men and women to explore their emotions, experiences, and goals throughout their journey. Whether you’re starting or continuing your gender transition, facing social or family challenges, or dealing with dysphoria or discrimination, therapy can help you find balance and support.
My transgender therapy approach focuses on building self-acceptance, strengthening resilience, and creating emotional well-being in a space where your identity is fully respected and understood.
FAQs
The most common questions
How is working with an inclusive therapist different from general therapy?
LGBTQ+ safe therapist understands the unique experiences of the LGBTQ+ community (such as coming out, identity, or discrimination) and integrates this awareness into every session.
Is online LGBTQ-friendly therapy as effective as in-person sessions?
Yes. Online therapy offers the same depth and effectiveness, with added flexibility and privacy. It’s ideal if you live far away, prefer discretion, or have a busy schedule.
Do I need to label my sexual orientation or gender before starting therapy?
Not at all. You don’t need any labels to receive support. Therapy is a space for self-exploration, whether you’re questioning, unsure, or simply looking to understand yourself better.
What kind of issues can we work on together?
We can address topics such as anxiety, self-esteem, identity, relationships, coming out, internalized shame, family conflict, and emotional well-being; all through an affirming LGBTQ+ lens.
Do you work with trans and non-binary clients?
Absolutely. As a trans-friendly therapist, I provide respectful, informed support for trans and non-binary individuals at any stage of their journey, including transition and identity exploration.
What makes a therapist truly gay-friendly?
A truly gay-friendly therapist is trained and experienced in LGBTQ+ issues, uses inclusive language, respects all identities, and actively affirms your orientation and relationships, not just “tolerates” them.
How long is each session, and how often should I attend?
Sessions usually last 50 minutes. Frequency depends on your goals: most people start weekly, then adjust as progress is made.
What languages do you offer therapy in?
I currently offer sessions in English.
Can I start therapy even if I’m not struggling with a specific issue?
Of course. Many LGBTQ+ clients begin therapy simply to understand themselves better, grow emotionally, or find more peace in their everyday life.
