LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapist in Las Vegas for Identity, Trauma, and Relationship Support
You might be considering therapy because you want a space where you can show up fully as yourself and feel understood, respected, and safe. Many clients come in navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or identity-related stress while also wanting a space where their identity is not questioned or minimized.
LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy offers a supportive, inclusive space where your identity is respected and centered throughout the work.
Who This is For
LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy may be a good fit if you are:
Seeking a therapist who is explicitly affirming of LGBTQIA+ identities and self expression
Navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or life stressors
Exploring identity, self-expression, or relationship dynamics
Processing experiences of invalidation, rejection, or discrimination
Wanting a space where you don’t have to explain or justify your identity
Looking for support that is respectful, inclusive, and trauma-informed
My Approach
In LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, we focus on creating a space where your identity is fully respected and centered throughout the therapeutic process. My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in understanding how lived experiences, relationships, and identity intersect with emotional well-being.
I integrate attachment-focused therapy and parts work to support you in understanding emotional patterns, strengthening self-trust, and building healthier, more connected relationships—with yourself and others.
This is a space where you do not need to explain or defend your identity in order to receive care.
I integrate a range of evidence-based and experiential approaches, including:
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a trauma focused and somatic approach that helps identify and process deeper emotional and physical experiences stored in the brain and body. It can be especially helpful in accessing and healing deep rooted trauma and experiences that impact how you respond to the world around you.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR is a structured therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing or traumatic experiences so they feel less emotionally charged and more integrated over time.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Attachment work explores how early relationships and experiences shape the way we connect with ourselves and others today. This helps us understand relationship patterns and emotional responses in a deeper way and allows access to early aspects of our lives that may need support in feeling secure in self and in our relationships.
Parts Work (IFS-informed)
Parts work helps us understand the different “parts” of ourselves that show up in different situations; including parts of us that may use shutting down, lashing out, over thinking, obsessing or worrying as ways to protect self. Instead of fighting these parts, we work to understand and support them.
DBT-Informed Skills
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and navigating intense emotions in a more grounded and effective way. These tools, including mindfulness can help you feel more stable in moments of overwhelm and support an overall sense of gratitude and peace.
Animal-Assisted Therapy
Animal-assisted therapy incorporates the calming presence of my emotional support pet into the therapeutic process, which can support grounding, emotional regulation, and feelings of safety in session.
