You really want to connect deeply with your partner(s), but it feels impossible to navigate what you want, plus what they want, plus all the other demands in your life. It seems easier to just focus on what other people want – your own needs can wait (except they really can’t). You're scared there might not be a way forward, that asking for what you need might cause a fight, or come off as selfish. But you're hopeful that, with professional support, you can find the confidence to ask for the sexual and emotional intimacy you've been missing. You hope to find a way out of resignation, to a vibrant, sexy life with the people you love.

Many people seek therapy because something in their life is not working. It may be something at work, relationship with spouse, family members or friends. They feel frustrated and depressed because they are unable to be effective in managing problems.

You feel anxious, might never have felt good enough, may be burned out, and fear you won’t ever get to live a life you want to be living. You are tired of trying to fix everything on your own, or don't even know where to begin. You long to feel more free, confident, secure, able to make decisions, and able to reach for your dreams or have a life you feel good in. You may even feel stuck between being true to yourself and losing or impacting those you love. You may be tired of feeling alone in this.

Are you mystified by the idea of being your authentic self? Have you felt that you carry too much trauma & are too flawed to experience your life in a new way? Perhaps you have a sense of the unique gifts you have to offer, yet are held back by codependency in relationships, a tendency to self-abandon, or other painful patterns. Each one of us enters into this world with a powerful purpose. However, we often learn to adopt a different story. Counseling can provide a place to reunite with the parts of ourselves that have been forgotten, oppressed, & rejected in order to embody our original wholeness.

“Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real.” -Cormac McCarthy. I work with going into darkness and introducing the light that comes from healing. My approach is Holistic, Transpersonal/Existential, and Trauma-Informed, while also relying heavily on the creation of autonomy and meaning. My style is particularly effective for people who are struggling to overcome traumatic and damaging life experiences, including adult survivors of childhood abuse, veterans, individuals in the GLBTQIA community, and others who have had to cope with severe hardships.

Welcome! You may be looking for a therapist because of a crisis of some kind or because life is currently feeling untenable in some kind of way. I see crisis, depression, grief/loss and anxiety as potential opportunities to come to know yourself in a new way. Sometimes distress is a signal a change needs to happen. Taking time to focus on your growth process and the obstacles impeding your joy is important. Together we can use imagination, creativity, resourcefulness, mindfulness, and somatic practices, held in a therapeutic relationship for you to identify what is not serving you promote your growth, joy, health and alignment.

I'm Maddie, and I specialize in helping teenagers, young adults, and their parents through challenges. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Doctor of Educational Leadership with over 15 years of experience—and as a mom of four myself—I understand both sides of the teen struggle. I spent years as a school counselor, so I deeply understand the academic pressure, social media stress, and identity questions today's teens face. And as a parent, navigating the chaos of raising teenagers? I get what you're going through.

Helping women redefine their relationship with alcohol! You are questioning your drinking or you know something needs to shift because you feel disconnected from who you want to be. People around you think you have it together, but they don’t know how much you drink or how anxious you feel. It’s exhausting keeping it all together and you want more from your life. Whether you are a gray area drinker, taking a break from drinking or fully in recovery, you are welcome here.

My work begins with the simple belief that every person—and every relationship, both within and between us—has an innate movement toward growth and healing. In therapy, I create a space where individuals and partners can soften their defenses, tend to the protective strategies that once kept them safe, and begin to meet themselves and one another with greater ease and openness, especially in moments of pain or conflict.

I offer support for all forms of trauma. I provide a safe space for individuals, couples and groups to transform old trauma. Through this healing process, the client experiences a sense of choice that may have not been available before. This begins to enhance their relationship with themselves and others. There is opportunity for connection with one's own body wisdom and a sense of inner freedom. This cultivates feelings of empowerment, an ability to trust oneself and to align with what feels true. Client's begin to experience themselves as more present, compassionate toward themselves and others while living an embodied life.

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.
