I offer support to the experiences unique to the LGBTQIA+ community. Part of my practice is also devoted to creating a safe space and validating the often-discounted struggles of ethical vegans, animal advocates, and people who are grieving the loss of their animal family members. I will work with you to build and apply safe coping skills to assist in breaking through your obstacles and challenges, despite your circumstances.

It's exhausting when you have to constantly fake your mood, mask your symptoms, or justify your needs. When you deal with things like OCD, a chronic illness, constant anxiety, or ongoing depression, it can be hard to find the right kind of support. You want to work with a therapist who understands you, not someone who minimizes your pain or rushes your process. You don’t have to shrink yourself in therapy with me—my goal is to truly see and understand your challenges and I work hard to create a healing space where we can both show up authentically to work towards goals that work for you.

Do any of these sound like your experience? A child grieving the loss of a loved one, getting in fights at school. A high-achieving teen feeling off-track and overwhelmed. A young adult recently diagnosed with ADHD or Autism, feeling both relief and lost on what to do. An adult processing religious trauma or navigating the aftermath of a breakup. A parent who’s noticing their teen's behavior shifting—whether through mood swings, anxiety, or withdrawal—and wants to understand how to better support them.

You may feel weighed down by arguments, distance, or the quiet disconnection that creeps into everyday life. Many individuals and couples I work with long for safety, appreciation, and closeness but feel stuck in old cycles shaped by past trauma, painful family dynamics, or earlier heartbreaks. You want your relationships to feel like a place of peace and support where each of you feel seen, valued, and cherished.

You're an "oddball", the puzzle of being human and surviving doesn't fit easily and our wild nature feels constricted by societal demands. A vision was constructed for your life before you were even born that didn't give you a chance to create your own and thats the problem! Those of us who identify as multi-cultural, trans, gender-nonconforming, queer, neurodivergent, disabled, outsiders and artists often live between worlds and on the edges of society. The process of unraveling from harm and connecting to our own vision can be creative, non-linear and multidimensional.

You're queer, you're "weird," you knew you were different before we had the term "nuero-divergent." You're genderqueer, you're a witch, you're creative, you're an activist. This world doesn't fit you, and that's really the problem. But, you were told that you needed to change to fit this world. You're not the problem and neither is the way you're built. But, you hold shame from a life-time of being told you are the problem and need to be different. The lack of attunment and understanding from those around you has been isolating and led to depression and anxiety.

On the surface, the world sees you as the one who ‘always has it together’ - but on the inside, you’re starting to feel like you’re falling apart. You feel like you're working overtime to push down those uncomfortable feelings (you know, the ones that have always been lurking in the background) - except no matter how hard you try, you’re finding yourself more anxious, ungrounded, and on edge than ever before. You want your body to feel more at ease. You want to feel more connected (to yourself, to others). You want to see (and trust) what others see. But, you’re just not sure how.

You’re overwhelmed, overstimulated, and searching for relief, and quite frankly, getting pretty desperate. That "best life" others seem to live feels just beyond reach, with a little progress one day, then sliding all the way back to where you started. It’s exhausting. You logically know you’ve overcome so much, but where is that strength everyone says you have? Together, we can foster compassion for the coping skills you’ve used to survive. These strategies deserve acknowledgment and appreciation because they have kept you alive.

Bisexual Therapists

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.
