Therapy for LGBTQIA + Neurodivergent Clients – Authentic, Non‑Judgmental, Atlanta‑Based (and Remote) Support
You deserve a therapist who understands you, not one who tries to change who you are. If past therapy experiences left you wary, know that I’m an LGBTQIA‑affirming advocate who stays current on best practices for our community. Your identity is yours—there’s nothing to fix.
Why Choose Me as Your Therapist?
- LGBTQIA + Neurodivergent expertise – I’m a member of the community and regularly train on the latest inclusive approaches.
- No‑mask, no‑pathologizing – I never push ABA, conversion tactics, or any method that forces you to hide your true self.
- Geographic flexibility –Secure video counseling for the entire Southeast including GA, TX, NC, SC, and FL
