LGBTQ+ Therapy

At Illuminated Pathways Inc., I provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families. I recognize the unique emotional, relational, and identity-based challenges that LGBTQ+ people often face — including identity exploration, discrimination, social rejection, family strain, trauma, and internalized stigma.

Many LGBTQ+ clients carry stress from experiences such as:

• Childhood or family rejection

• Social or spiritual trauma

• Relationship and attachment wounds

• Bullying or discrimination

• Identity suppression or masking

• Anxiety, depression, and shame related to minority stress

• Difficulty accessing culturally competent care

These experiences can deeply affect emotional safety, self-worth, and relationships. That’s why my approach centers on affirmation, safety, empowerment, and respect for identity expression and lived experience.

I specialize in:

• LGBTQ+-affirming individual therapy

• Couples therapy for queer and trans partnerships

• Trauma-informed care including EMDR

• Support for identity exploration and self-acceptance

• Healing attachment and relationship trauma

• Emotional regulation, anxiety & depression support

• Family and parent guidance to support LGBTQ+ children & teens

Together, we create a space where you can explore your identity, heal from trauma, build resilience, strengthen relationships, and move toward a life grounded in authenticity, dignity, and inner safety.
