LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy for Authentic Living
A space where every part of you is seen, supported, and celebrated.
At Excelsior Mental Health, I offer therapy that’s inclusive, affirming, and grounded in compassion. Whether you’re exploring your identity, healing from trauma, or learning to trust yourself again, you deserve a space where all of you is welcome. Together, we’ll untangle what feels heavy so you can reconnect with your sense of peace and authenticity.
Craving a Space to Finally Breathe?
You’ve learned how to hold so much together — maybe for everyone but yourself.
You want a space where you don’t have to explain your identity, defend your pronouns, or shrink yourself to feel safe. You’ve done the work to survive, but now you’re craving what it means to actually live — grounded, connected, and fully you.
You deserve a space that sees your wholeness, honors your truth, and helps you come home to your own peace.
You’re allowed to take up space and exist as your full self.
I’M HERE FOR YOU.
My role isn’t to fix you — it’s to help you reconnect with who you’ve always been beneath the expectations, the fear, and the exhaustion.
In our work together, you can finally exhale. You don’t have to overexplain, mask, or brace for misunderstanding. This is a space where your pronouns, your identity, and your story are honored and celebrated.
Together, we’ll build the tools and clarity you need to live more fully — grounded, authentic, and at peace with who you are.
HOW I CAN HELP
LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy can help you heal old wounds, rebuild self-trust, and feel safe being fully you.
My approach is collaborative, relational, and rooted in authenticity. Together, we’ll explore what it means to feel at home in your body, your identity, and your relationships.
Whether you’re navigating coming out, identity exploration, family or cultural rejection, or the exhaustion of constantly having to explain yourself — you don’t have to carry it alone.
I integrate trauma-informed and holistic practices to help you regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and rebuild self-compassion.
Our work centers you — your pace, your values, and your truth — so you can create a life that feels grounded, safe, and truly yours.
HERE’S WHAT WE’LL DO TOGETHER
Together, we’ll create a space where you can untangle what’s heavy, reconnect with yourself, and grow at your own pace.
I know how hard it can be to open up — especially when you’ve had to protect yourself for so long. That’s why my approach to therapy is centered on safety, trust, and compassion — not perfection or pressure.
In our work together, we’ll:
• Gently explore the patterns that keep you feeling stuck.
• Process the weight of rejection, shame, or self-doubt.
• Build tools to show up for yourself with honesty and care.
My role is to help you reconnect to your sense of self — not the version shaped by expectations, but the one that’s always been there beneath it all.
If you’re ready to start that process, I offer LGBTQIA+ affirming online therapy across Florida — a safe space to heal, rebuild trust, and move forward at your own pace.

Frequently Asked Questions —
-
Affirming therapy goes beyond “acceptance.” It’s about creating a space where every part of you is welcome — your gender, sexuality, identity, and the intersections that make you you. My approach honors the unique experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals and offers support without judgment, assumptions, or the need to educate your therapist.
-
Not at all. You set the pace and focus of our work. Sometimes your identity is central to what you’re processing, and other times you may just need space to talk about relationships, anxiety, or life changes. Either way, your identity is respected, but it never has to be the focus unless you want it to be.
-
Trust is something we build together — not something expected from day one. Sessions move at a pace that feels safe for you, with space to name what hasn’t worked in the past. You deserve a therapeutic relationship rooted in safety, collaboration, and transparency.
-
Yes! I offer secure, online therapy sessions for clients across Florida. Virtual therapy gives you access to affirming, trauma-informed care from the comfort and privacy of your own space — no commute, no stress.
-
Finding the right therapist is important. That’s why I offer a free consultation — so we can connect, talk about your goals, and see if my approach feels like the right fit for you. There’s no pressure — just space to explore what you need and what feels right for your next step.
