You don’t have to carry the weight of the past alone. Many of the people I work with come to me feeling stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by stress, or weighed down by painful memories that just won’t go away. I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, an evidence-based approach designed to help the brain process and release difficult experiences. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where healing can happen so you can move forward with more clarity, resilience, and hope.

If you’re feeling stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break—whether that’s trauma responses, substance use, or complicated family dynamics—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. While I work with clients across the lifespan, I specialize in working with teens and young adults navigating trauma responses, high-conflict or complex family systems, substance use, and experiences related to incarceration. Together, we look beyond surface behaviors to understand what’s driving them—and build real, sustainable change from there.

Life can be a lot of things. Sometimes that's a variety of emotions or thought processes that are far from ideal and moving forward seems impossible. My approach to therapy is that we are collaborators, working toward the resolution you see for yourself.

Many of the people I work with know the stress of being queer in a world that doesn't make room for them. Others are standing in the long shadow of childhood wounds, family dysfunction, and relationship patterns that feel impossible to change. Often, these areas overlap. They're stuck in loops of over-functioning, people-pleasing, and numbing from the grief, complexity and loneliness. They're resilient but exhausted in a way that's hard to explain to most people in their lives. This is the kind of work I'm built for.

You're in the middle of real change — a relationship ending or transforming, an identity shifting, a sense that who you've been isn't who you're becoming. It can feel disorienting, even lonely and isolating. I work with women navigating major life transitions, and with children finding steadier ground through play, to meet that disorientation with real support- not by explaining it away, but by helping you feel it, understand it, and move through it toward a truer sense of yourself.

I connect best with other queer and neurodiverse folks who've tried the “fitting in” and are more interested in a sense of belonging. Maybe you're new to mental health care, or maybe you've been around a time or two (or more!)- I enjoy working with individuals who've identified as an "intellectualizer" or "over-thinker," and know that "being self-aware" only goes so far.

Lesbian Therapists
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 specialized 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+ organizations—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 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. 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.
