Who I Work With

My clients are people who’ve spent a lot of time feeling like they don’t quite fit, in therapy, in their families, in the world. They’re often queer, neurodivergent, kinky, polyamorous, or some combination of all of the above. Sometimes they’ve tried therapy before and left feeling more pathologized than helped.

I work with adults across the lifespan who are navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, identity, relationships, and the particular exhaustion of existing in a body and a world that wasn’t always designed with them in mind.

My approach is queer-affirming, neuro-affirming, sex-positive, and harm-reduction oriented. No judgment about who you are, how you love, or what you’re into.


Meet Andi

I’m the founder of Forge Therapy, PLLC, a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist serving clients in Minnesota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Florida via telehealth.

My work centers on people who’ve felt unseen, misunderstood, or like they don’t fit the standard therapy model. I bring a queer, neuro-affirming, sex-positive, and harm-reduction lens to every session, meeting you where you are without judgment about who you are or what you’re working through.

I have specific experience working with the queer and LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent adults, trauma survivors, and people navigating sex, sexuality, kink, and non-traditional relationship structures. I started my social work career in 2018 and have been in private practice since 2021.
