IN-PERSON IN NASHVILLE & ONLINE ACROSS TENNESSEE

Affirming Therapy for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ+) Individuals in Nashville.

Sound familiar?

“Sometimes I’m not sure I really know who I am”

“Why are my relationships so difficult?”

“I thought coming out would make things easier”

“Does it really get better? and when? or how?”

I see you.

And I get it.


As LGBTQ+ folks, it often seems like life keeps piling on from all directions. It might look like family conflicts that don’t resolve, a series of painful relationships that are starting to look like a pattern, or the struggle to truly be ourselves even in our closest relationships. If that isn’t already difficult enough, there are the ongoing challenges that come from simply living in a world that is often openly hostile toward us.  

You’re ready for change, but you’re just not sure how to get there on your own.

You want to be more authentic, but you’re also not sure who that person really is.

Imagine a life where...

You feel confident and grounded in who you are

… able to show up in your relationships with authenticity and vulnerability

You can set boundaries and still have connection

… not abandoning yourself to appease nor shutting people out to protect

You have the sex and intimacy you deserve

… connected with your body’s authentic wants, needs, and values

You have relationship skills that you trust

… choosing genuine connection over confusing dating games and mixed messaging

Questions? I’ve got answers.

Frequently asked questions —

  • Great question! This work is too important for you to wonder or guess what a potential therapist mean when they say this. I start with the assumption that queerness is an asset and not a deficit. You’re not broken. You have wisdom that you can learn to trust. You’re hardwired for resilience and connection.

    I believe that LGBTQ+ folks absolutely deserve therapists who understand their lived experience and the unique cultural, social, religious and family challenges that we face.

  • Yep. I identify as a gay man. (he/him)

  • Absolutely. I work with people who are looking for resources for their LGBTQ+ family members. I also work with individuals who are trying to understand and effectively support a family member who has come out as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.

  • I don’t have predetermined ideas about what your coming out process should look like, or how you should identify. That isn’t for me to decide. I’m here to support you as you process your own thoughts and feelings no matter where you land. Our conversations are completely confidential.

  • Let’s set up a call for you to see if you think we’ll be a good fit! From there, we’ll coordinate availability and get you scheduled.

    Or, if you decide that you’re looking for something different, I’m more than happy to give you other names of other therapists who do good work with LGBTQ+ folks.
