That Gay Therapist
Healing through connection.
Therapy is Personal. Always.
You are unique, beautiful, creative, intelligent, hurt, and are capable of healing, being loved, and loving yourself. You are not a number, or diagnosis, or statistic. I love getting to celebrate with my clients in their achievements, and sit with you through unfathomable pain because your journey matters to me. In turn, I know I matter to my clients!

Being able to talk about your life can be healing in itself. Having a non-judgmental space to vent and say things you may have never said to anyone is freeing. Creating a real connection with a professional to help you recover and move past painful experiences, and love who you are. I want to hear your story and meet your needs. Talk therapy can cover a wide range of topics, including:
Healthy coping with depression, anxiety, stress
Assertiveness Skills
Boundaries
Personal/physical goals
Changing how you think, speak and act

What makes That Gay Therapist Different?
I’m a queer therapist who loves helping people recover from painful experiences, deal with life stress and take control of their lives.
Therapy is a lot about the relationship you have with your therapist. If you don’t get along with them, or if they judge you it’s frustrating, and not helpful. I create a connection with you and want to hear your story. The therapist you meet is the real me. I am genuine and authentic with my clients.
I know the pain of having your family not support your sexuality. I deconverted from my childhood conservative Chrisitan upbringing and know how isolating it can be. I have worked on my own issues in therapy and gotten the help I needed which is a big passion of mine to help others!
Be you.
Be bold.
Who can I work with?
As a licensed therapist in the state of California, I am legally allowed to provide therapy services to anyone who is residing within California. If you are outside California I can still work with you through Quick Self Help.
