You know that feeling of being "stuck"... stuck in the cycles you repeat in your relationship, career, and life. The problem is, you've tried again and again to change things, and it's not working. Your connection to your partner, maybe your kids, and to yourself continue to struggle. I've been there. The first important way to move forward is to imagine life when these problems are gone. The good news is that whether you are completely ready to dive in, you're coming to the right place.

I work with children, teens, and adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just not like themselves lately. Sometimes that looks like big emotions: anxiety, sadness, anger, or constant worry. Other times it’s challenges at school, in relationships, or within the family. And sometimes, there’s no clear reason at all, just a feeling that something’s off. You or your child might be wanting to feel more steady, more connected, or more like yourself again. The people I work with are often looking for support that feels real, kind, and easy to talk to.

Therapy that feels human. Real talk, the occasional swear, and zero judgment.
This isn’t therapy for the polite version of you. It’s a space for the stuff you can’t say out loud anywhere else. We’ll unpack the truth, question the patterns, and make space for what’s real, so you can meet yourself without filters.

“The trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.”
I often work with LGBTQ2IA individuals and couples struggling with shame/guilt, identity, place, belonging/community, sexuality, and spirituality/meaning-making. People who feel as if something is missing, even if all might be well on paper. When feeling unheard, unwanted, and unsafe, taking the first step toward fulfillment and inner harmony is an act of courage. Rejecting shame lets us embrace hope and possibility.
Together, we can explore ways of healing and growth that honour your unique identity and need for safety and change in an often challenging world.

Personally and professionally, I have experienced the power of finding language that describes who we are and of being seen and supported in telling and retelling the stories that shape us. One of the ways we make sense of our experiences is through stories, both that we hold internally and that we share with others. It has been my honour and joy to join people in finding new and old meaning in their stories.

I work with people who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, or cumulative stress, and want to develop a sense of well-being and emotional stability. Going beyond traditional talk therapy, I use somatic psychotherapy and transpersonal therapy in healing trauma, including developmental trauma.
Somatic therapy is a gentle, experiential approach that integrates awareness of body sensations and movement impulses. This allows the body, mind and emotions to heal from trauma, so you can feel more connected and engaged in your life.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, motivated, and deeply committed to doing things differently than how they were raised. They genuinely want to show up calmly and consistently for their those they love — but they still find themselves getting triggered, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns they don’t like. I work with people who want to understand their patterns, emotional wounds, and nervous system responses that are driving their reactions.
When we slow down and explore what’s happening underneath the surface, parenting becomes less about trying harder and more about responding from a grounded, regulated place.

Your first session is free, starting is hard enough. You may be 2SLGBTQ+, neurodivergent, or seeking a therapist for trauma, or anger, or dissociation. You may be wondering about safety, wondering who can hold the most hurt parts of you, and allow them to be seen and heard without collapsing your world. You may even wonder if you’ll be judged for how you’ve survived.

I can promise you one thing, and that is that we will go at the pace where safety meets change towards your goals.

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.
