My goal is to help people make ho-hum sex good, and good sex great! I love working with couples looking to rekindle their fire or make it burn brighter, and also with individuals looking to deepen their understanding of their own sexuality and in turn become an even better lover and partner. Dating, foreplay, and exploration of fantasies are just a few exciting areas of my work. I have experience in helping clients develop confidence and skill in diverse types of sexual expression (for example, dominance and submission). love helping couples learn how to lovingly share their needs and desires.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I enjoy working with adults from diverse backgrounds who seek to improve the quality of their lives. Is there a place you find yourself stuck? Have you tried all you can and still find yourself in emotional pain? Do you have some insight into what may be happening, but want to seek professional support to grow and thrive? Whether you are familiar with counseling or not, each person's therapeutic journey is unique. Some people come with a specific goal in mind and others prefer a longer supportive therapy, traversing the many layers and aspects of their life.

The single most consistent predictor of success in therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. I prioritize creating a trusting relationship. My approach is collaborative, relational, and interactive. I balance listening deeply with gently challenging clients to make meaningful change. I am not a therapist who sits back silently. I also do not presume that any given technique or my own experience hold all the answers in our journey together. Rather, I draw on evidence-based, relational practices, more than a decade of clinical practice, and your lived experience, cultural and personal practices, beliefs, and values.

You work hard, but it is not just the job that leaves you feeling drained. Some days it may seem like you are wearing a mask from the moment you wake up, keeping up appearances, double-checking everything, and carefully managing how others see you. This self-monitoring can feel just as exhausting as the demands of your workload. Over time, this pressure can leave you anxious, disconnected, or unsure of who you really are. The result is a constant sense of burnout, overwhelm, and anxiety.

Hi there, I'm Bri Lou, a former freelance artist & retail manager who realized connection was the core of what I loved in my previous work. My belief in what the power of connection can do is what guides and informs my work as a therapist. Studies show that the biggest indicator of success in therapy is the quality of the relationship between therapist and client. This connection and sense of comfort is an essential piece of healing. My work aims to meet you where you are and understand where you are hoping to go next.

I work with folks in the intersection of being neurodivergent, BIPOC and queer to navigate the oppressive structures that prevent us from expressing ourselves authentically. Together we can process intergenerational trauma to truly meet your needs. My areas of focus include conscious parenting, eating disorders, and postpartum/perinatal mental health. In our therapeutic relationship, genuine, empathetic care and connection come first. I understand that healing is not only individual but also systemic.

You’re not here to be “fixed.” You’re here to feel seen, supported, and finally get somewhere. I work with people who’ve done the work…just not with the right person yet.

Anxiety and perfectionism have turned your brain into a hot mess of a place to live. Your inner critic nitpicks every interaction, leaving you exhausted from another full day of “Should’ve done that better.” Painful memories nag at you, getting louder despite your efforts to shove them away. Daily invalidations of your queer, Latina, or immigrant identity sting, and loneliness has set in as you keep your suffering to yourself. You’ve tried everything: drinking, doom scrolling, self-help books, but nothing has worked. You're left feeling weighed down and hopeless.

Are you (or your child) feeling overwhelmed by the many crises of our time? I specialize in whole-bodied therapy to address symptoms related to anxiety, grief, and trauma for adults, youth, and families. Many of the people I work with identify as "sensitive" and have been called "overly sensitive" by an insensitive world. As a therapist, I do not aim to support people in simply "feeling better" or getting rid of their emotions of grief, anxiety, or sadness. Instead, I aim to support the uncovering, expression, and channeling of these sacred emotions as fuel to repair the wounds of both our individual lives and of the world.

Folks commonly seek me out because of an increased sense of overwhelm and stress, feelings of hopelessness, relationship changes, a sense of hopelessness, as well as a desire to make meaning from their trauma. I'll help you help tap into what you already know, identify patterns you want to shift, and develop a greater self-trust to enact change in relationships and the world!

What is bisexual-affirming therapy?
Bisexual-affirming therapy is a type of mental health support that fully affirms and reflects a client’s bisexual identity. It is rooted in acceptance and does not attempt to change or question an individual’s orientation. In this type of therapy, clients work with a therapist who understands the unique experiences of bisexual people. This support is especially important, as research shows that bisexual individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation compared to other groups. Bisexual-affirming therapy acknowledges that bisexual individuals may encounter specific stressors—such as invalidation, relationship challenges, and minority stress—that require specialized understanding and intervention. Many therapists also provide couples therapy for bisexual partners, helping them navigate relationship dynamics, communication challenges, or external stressors that may impact their relationship.
While not required, some clients prefer working with bisexual therapists who may bring personal insight to the therapeutic relationship. However, a non-bisexual therapist with strong training and a genuine commitment to affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who understands how identity impacts mental health and can create a space of trust and respect.

What can a bisexual therapist help with?
Bisexual-affirming therapists can provide support across a wide range of concerns relevant to bisexual individuals. Whether through personal or professional experience, they often have specialized knowledge in areas such as the coming out process, navigating stereotypes, and dealing with common stressors. Relationship support is another key area of focus, as bisexual clients may face unique challenge when dating or maintaining relationships across genders. Affirming therapists can also help clients build coping strategies for managing discrimination or stigma.
Additionally, many bisexual-affirming therapists can connect clients to other providers or community-based resources—such as bisexual support groups or LGBTQ+ organizations—that offer additional affirming spaces for connection. It's important to note that therapists provide can 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.

How do I find a bisexual therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for finding bisexual-affirming therapists. You can use search filters to identify therapists who specialize 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.
During initial consultations or early sessions, ask potential therapists about their specific training in bisexual-affirming care, their experience with LGBTQ+ clients, and their therapeutic approach to identity-related concerns. An effective bisexual-affirming therapist will demonstrate genuine understanding of bisexual experiences, including awareness of the unique challenges facing bisexual individuals. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
