Located in Highland Meadows Parkway | Windsor, Colorado

Is your relationship going through a rough patch,
causing you to feel like it has lost its spark?

Does it feel like you have lost all connection between the two of you?

Are both of you are constantly battling for power and who is “right”?

Do these things cause you both to have the same old arguments over, and over, and over again?

Are all of these compounded by the oppression, discrimination, and marginalization you face on a daily basis?

One of you is “always bringing up the problem.” The other one is automatically defensive.

You aren’t trying to hurt each other, but it happens anyway. You continue to be stuck in the same familiar pattern that neither one of you knows how to end.

You could stop talking about the things that bother you, but that makes you feel resentful. You could just agree with everything your partner is saying, but that doesn’t feel like you are honoring your own reality.

What if there was a different way?

Why do I provide counseling for LGBTQ+ clients?

As a kid I witnessed the criticism some of my family members received about who they loved and how they identified. Not only were they hearing this from the outside world, they were hearing it from the very people that were supposed to protect and love them. It was clear that family was not a safe space, and I realized this was not unique to the people I was related to. I knew from the start of my counseling career I wanted to create a space for LGBTQ+ clients to be seen and heard and loved, especially if it was the only place these experiences could happen.

As a person who has the privilege of looking cis and straight, I know I have a lot to learn about you and your experiences. I’ve completed the Queer Competency Certification training and a certificate in gender, women, and sexuality studies, I regularly participate in consultation groups with LGBTQ+ therapists, read books and forums relevant to the LGBTQ+ community, and I have worked with queer clients for ten years. If you’re looking for someone with lived experience, that isn’t me. If you’re looking for someone that is continually learning, growing, and seeking out information to support, honor, and affirm you, I’m your gal.

Frequently Asked Questions About
LGBTQ+ Couples Counseling

  • I’m a bit eclectic in nature, pulling ideas from various counseling modalities that will guide us in identifying the cause of your relationship concerns and give you tools specific to your communication needs.

    More specifically, I utilize person centered therapy (which means I look at you both as the experts in your life and relationship while I am your guide and source of support), the Gottman Method (this gives you specific tools to communicate more effectively and strengthen your relationship), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (this helps us track the pattern of communication happening and what attachment needs are contributing to your concerns. It also gives us a structure for healthy communication and connection within session.)

    Additionally, we will explore the ways that your relationship has been impacted by the external stressors of not "fitting into society's box." We will discuss this as much as feels important and helpful to you. We will focus on honoring your identities, both individually and within your relationship.

  • I have had the honor of working with over 50 LGBTQ+ individuals and couples over the past 10 years. Some have been navigating the coming out process, some have needed access to letters for gender affirming care, and some have worked on concerns other than their identity and orientation but just needed a safe space to do so.
    A majority of the LGBTQ+ couples I have worked with have sought counseling to deepen the connection in their relationship and improve their communication, but have needed a counselor that they could build safety with and that could understand the ways that heteronormative society pressures their relationship.

  • A 20-minute phone consultation is free.

    If you would like to see if your sessions could be covered by your heath insurance provider, please reach out to them and ask about their "out of network coverage for mental health providers." I am happy to provide you with a superbill to submit to your provider.
