Guided by my lived experience as a former NCAA D1 athlete and AuDHD therapist, I work with athletes, neurodivergent folks and those seeking clarity, direction, and purpose. With a future-focused lens, I believe our growth comes from exploring the meaning behind our experiences, how they shape who we are, the ways we connect and how we pursue what matters most to us. In therapy, I work alongside clients in the here-and-now to uncover the how and why beneath their patterns, to make sense of their inner world within the systems they exist within, and to move forward with confidence.

Accepting New Clients! Being human is full of joys, heartbreaks, & lessons. To thrive, we need to navigate the tough stuff and resolve the subconscious blocks that hold us back. Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other emotional experiences that keep you from being at peace and living your life fully? If there is such a thing as a superpower, mine is that I see and feel people's best/higher self. This creates an environment of acceptance & warmth, allowing us to focus on changing the brain’s habitual responses to past experiences, creating new neural pathways that truly resolve the struggle.

We all have stories that we tell about ourselves, our lives, and that others tell about us. Often when we’re struggling, these stories are about feeling powerless, hopeless, scared, and are full of shame and self-doubt. My approach explores these narratives, creating space for new, richer stories to emerge. If it feels right to you, we’ll explore the stories different parts of yourself tell you, drawing you closer to your values, deconstructing your patterns and uncovering your strengths and resiliency to find new paths forward. We will build a deeper understanding of what you've been through, where you are, and where you're going.

It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society. -Krishnamurti Although things are getting better in some regards, outdated societal pressures and norms, as well as modern technology and newly implemented ways of living are weighing heavy on many of us. Anxiety is at an all-time peak, addiction continues to climb and although we have more comforts than at any time in history, we are increasingly unhappy. If you're feeling the strain of this, want to connect to something deeper within yourself, or are finding yourself more dysregulated than ever (with all the associated difficulties), let's connect.

What is lesbian-affirming therapy?
Lesbian-affirming therapy is a type of mental health support that fully affirms and reflects a client's lesbian identity. It is rooted in acceptance and does not attempt to change or question an individual's sexual orientation. In this type of therapy, clients work with a therapist who understands the unique experiences of lesbian women. This support is especially important, as research shows that lesbian individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges compared to heterosexual populations. Lesbian-affirming therapy acknowledges that lesbian individuals may encounter specific stressors—such as coming out challenges, family rejection, workplace discrimination, and minority stress—that require specialised understanding and intervention. Lesbian-affirming therapists often work with clients across all age groups, from adolescents navigating their emerging identity to adults and older individuals addressing life transitions and relationship concerns. Many therapists also provide couples therapy for lesbian partners, helping them navigate relationship dynamics, communication challenges, or external stressors that may impact their relationship. It is important to note that therapists provide talk therapy and counseling services but do not prescribe medication—if medication is needed for conditions like depression or anxiety, they will coordinate care with a psychiatrist or primary care physician who can provide psychiatric medication management alongside therapeutic support.
Why should I see a lesbian therapist?
Some clients prefer to work with lesbian therapists who may bring personal lived experience to the therapeutic relationship. Choosing to work with a lesbian therapist can offer a deeper sense of connection, comfort, and shared understanding. A therapist who identifies as lesbian may require clients to give less background explanation—whether it’s about navigating romantic relationships, feeling unseen in certain spaces, or processing the impact of past relationship challenges. However, a non-lesbian therapist with strong training and a sincere commitment to LGBTQ+ affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who respects your identity and fosters trust, safety, and understanding. However, a non-lesbian therapist with strong training and a sincere commitment to LGBTQ+ affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who respects your identity and fosters trust, safety, and understanding. Additionally, many lesbian-affirming therapists can connect clients to other providers or community-based resources—such as bisexual support groups or LGBTQ+ organisations—that offer additional affirming spaces for connection.
How do I find a lesbian therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for finding lesbian-affirming therapists. You can use search filters to identify therapists who specialise in LGBTQ+ care and work specifically with bisexual clients. You can also filter by clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, accepted insurance, session costs, and languages spoken to find the right fit. Look for profiles where therapists explicitly mention working with lesbian clients, or where they describe their approach as identity-affirming, inclusive, or trauma-informed. Many providers will also list their own identities, which may help you find someone with shared lived experience if that is important to you. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
