Some people seek therapy not because they lack insight or discipline, but because their usual ways of coping, such as overthinking, staying busy, and staying in control, no longer work for them. You might be accomplished, responsible, and outwardly “fine,” yet feel tense, burned out, or emotionally stuck. My approach to therapy is collaborative but not passive; it involves actively engaging with patterns that once helped you survive, but now limit your ability to feel present, connected, or at ease.

From the outside, it looks like you're holding it all together. You're the one everyone counts on, always moving forward and rarely letting others see when you're struggling. But carrying everything on your own can become exhausting. Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, chronic illness, life transitions, or learning to embrace your neurodivergence, therapy can be a place where you finally exhale. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, build practical tools for everyday life, and reconnect with the version of yourself that's been buried beneath stress, expectations, and self-doubt.

Therapy starts with a simple conversation and me seeking to learn your unique perspective, needs, and goals. You may or may not know exactly what your are looking for. You might feel anything from complete comfort to terror in taking this step. I am great at helping people feel comfortable & asking the right questions to develop shared understanding. This will continue throughout treatment, so that we are always increasing awareness and achievement. This does not happen instantly, but in stages. I will support you to ensure you move at a pace best suited to your needs and comfort level.

I offer individual and relational therapy for all people, all relationships, and all genders. I also offer supervision for MFT and LPC candidates who are pre-licensed. It can be difficult to make that initial step and reach out. I believe you are more capable, intelligent, determined, and stronger than you may know. Sometimes we need an open, safe, effective, and accepting environment to access and fully explore all that we are capable of.

I believe therapy works best when you don’t have to perform. You don’t need the perfect words, a clear backstory, or a complete explanation for why you’re struggling. You just have to show up as you are.
I primarily work with pre-teens, teens, young adults, and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, disconnected, or like they carry more than others see. Many of my clients are the responsible one, the overthinker, or the person everyone relies on. Therapy becomes a place where they finally get support.

My clients are often suffering from anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-worth. Building resiliency and distress tolerance are the first steps, increasing comfort with uncomfortable emotions and body signals. Once a client has skills to self-soothe, we can start digging deeper into issues of trauma, attachment wounds, and injuries stemming from family of origin. Identifying and challenging self-limiting beliefs, building self-love through exploration, discovery, and radical acceptance of self are some of the things we may work on.

Finding the right therapist is not just about credentials or techniques, it’s about how safe you feel with another human being. My work is rooted first and foremost in relationship. I meet you as a person before anything else, with compassion, curiosity, honesty, and respect for your lived experience. Therapy with me is not about fixing you; it is about creating enough safety for you to come back home to yourself.
Many of the people I work with have spent years feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who they truly are. Some have learned to survive by staying guarded, hyper-vigilant or emotionally shut down.

Maybe you think you're too much but somehow also not enough, too different, complicated, or even broken. You've spent years in hypervigilance, people-pleasing, masking, making yourself small, or going it alone to survive. You might be a trauma survivor, neurodivergent, queer, creative, or otherwise used to feeling like an outsider. You adapted because you had to. Now you're ready to feel more at home in your body, your relationships, and your life.

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.
