My goal is to create the space for you to connect with your own innate wisdom and healing intelligence. I will meet you where you are with presence, empathy, and non-judgment. Using mindfulness and somatic techniques we will examine and remain grounded in the present and then work backward to untangle how difficult or traumatic experiences may be keeping you “stuck." We can deconstruct false narratives and move toward truth together. I will act as an unwavering guide as you move toward freedom and growth.

My therapy practice focuses on supporting individuals in developing lasting changes in their lives in a safe, co-created environment. Life transitions, anxiety that feels stuck, trauma patterns, feelings of overwhelm, and general states of unhappiness can all be processed, reworked, and released. I frequently work with individuals who have limited time in their daily schedules and feel they lack the time to practice new skills or make desired changes. Together, we will find those solutions based on your strengths and daily life. You can book with me by clicking on my website!

You love your kids. But sometimes you don't like them and wonder: Why does this feel so hard? Why am I always on edge, or drowning in guilt? You lose your temper, then spiral into shame. You beat yourself up for not being more patient, more grateful, more “together.” Sound familiar? You’re not alone — and you’re not broken. You’re a good mom who’s carrying a heavy emotional load, and I’m here to help you lay it down. Navigating mom rage alone behind closed doors is exhausting. You find yourself haunted by old wounds from your own childhood, and you’re determined not to repeat the patterns — but don’t know how to stop them.

I work with people struggling with disordered eating, anxiety, and relationship issues. Many of my clients have been disappointed with their past experiences in therapy. They’re insightful and self-aware- they know where they get stuck- which makes it even more frustrating when change doesn’t happen. If this sounds like you, I want you to know it's not your fault. Awareness alone isn’t enough, and simply "challenging your thoughts" can feel like putting a band-aid over something deeper. As a therapist, I bring a spacious yet guiding presence to help you explore your experience in a new way.

You make sense and there is a way to connection and belonging. With a foundation of respect, kindness, and trauma-sensitive mindfulness, I collaboratively create a welcoming space for individuals and couples to move towards love, connection, and wholeness. With an awake heart, curiosity, and clarity, I help people find perspective, make meaning of difficulties, access innate wisdom, and gain skills to emerge into freedom. From queer lineages and Irish Celtic ancestry, I am a queer artist and Buddhist practitioner who derives inspiration and purpose from the forces of nature, meditation, and interconnection.

Hi, I’m Sophie. I specialize in working with queer, trans, and non-monogamous individuals & couples. If you’re looking to deepen your understanding of your sexuality, identities, neurodivergence, or relational patterns, we may be a great fit! My clients often are well-practiced in self reflection but are seeking a non-judgmental therapist to collaborate with as they uncover and connect with their most authentic, grounded selves. Clients often come to me with identities that have left them feeling misunderstood in therapy, and are eager to finally work with a therapist who they don’t have to over-explain their experiences to.

Your mind and body seem to be giving you completely different messages, leaving you feeling confused and frustrated.

In our work together, my intention is to hold a space in which you can begin to relate to yourself with a sense of curiosity and gentleness. This includes growing the capacity to be with your internal experience as it is, and gaining familiarity with your inner landscape in an open and nonjudgmental way. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is integral to the healing that takes place in therapy. When we feel safe enough to trust and open up, then we can begin the work we need to do on ourselves.

Are you a neurodivergent adult navigating burnout, trauma, or the exhaustion of lifelong masking? As a neurodivergent, queer therapist, I offer somatic therapy to help you process trauma, reconnect with your body, and build a life that works with your nervous system and neurotype. I work with autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, and LGBTQIA+ adults who want therapy that affirms their identities. I believe that sincere healing comes not through conformity, but through accommodation for our individual and unique needs.

Typically, clients I work with are seeking therapy for help with anxiety, depression, self-harm, and/or suicidal ideation, among other difficult things. Often (though not always), clients are part of the LGBTQ+ community and are interested in figuring out how their experience of gender identity and/or sexuality fits into their mental health and lives. First, we get to know you better while we find ways to cope with symptoms. When you’re ready, we will take a deep dive together into what’s causing life to feel hard, unmanageable, or even unlivable.

I work with individuals struggling with the effects of unresolved trauma, which can look like experiences of anxiety, depression, and panic attacks, as well as challenges in relationships and sex life. My counseling incorporates a mind/ body approach that is based on an understanding of the neurobiology of trauma and that is highly attuned to cultural and societal context so as to promote more possibilities for healing. My aspiration is to support my clients to feel keenly aware of their sense of empowerment, agency, and wholeness in the present moment rather than feeling defenseless against overwhelming emotions and bodily states.

I support children, teens, and young adults experiencing big emotions, life transitions, anxiety, identity questions, and the stress that comes with growing up. Therapy does not have to be a last resort- sometimes young people simply need a safe, consistent space where they can slow down and feel understood.

As a queer, Indigenous licensed clinical social worker, I am aware of, and continue to educate myself on, the systemic issues that impact a person’s quality of life. I aim to implement this understanding into my therapeutic work at an individual level.
I focus my practice with clients around being trauma-informed, relational, and strengths-based. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, with a particular focus on trauma, grief, relational stress, and life transitions.

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.
