Everyone thinks you have it all together: a blissful marriage, successful career, and a joyful home life. You are the one your partner, friends, and family depend on, an unbreakable rock. But on the inside, you feel alone, under-supported, burdensome, and as though you are a failure. You constantly tell yourself that you are not good enough or worthy of other’s love or time. You worry that things will never get better after years of trying and many failed attempts. You are exhausted, depleted, and at a loss for what to do. You are desperately seeking change. The time is now.

You may look like you’re holding everything together on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling weighed down by depression, anxiety or relationship stress and unsure how to move forward.

For others, it can feel like finally seeing the sun after a long stretch of gray. I specialize in working with adults navigating depression, burnout, chronic stress, and relationship challenges who want both practical tools and deeper insight.

Do you struggle with focusing heavily on the negative, fearing the worst possible outcome in situations, or blaming yourself for events outside of your control? Maybe you have a tendency to assume what others are thinking or feeling and jump to conclusions, often for the worse. If you're constantly ruminating and being hard on yourself, you're not alone. This is normal. When these neural pathways are left undisrupted, you may get stuck feeling anxious, depressed, or lacking hope that things can get better. It doesn't have to be this way.

Anxiety, OCD and perfectionism don't improve by insight alone - they change when patterns are understood and actively worked with. I work with adults who feel stuck in overthinking, avoidance, or self-criticism and want clarity, momentum and relief. My approach is direct, collaborative, and process oriented. This is not passive therapy. We focus on understanding patterns, building insight and developing practical strategies that support meaningful, lasting change.

ATTN: Only have availability before 5pm. The disconnect between "knowing" something and "feeling" something is true is where I often meet folks. For some, it's not enough to know about what you experienced, but to resolve the emotional imprint of your experiences and relationships. You may feel like you're at this place of uncertainty of how to bridge between what you "rationally" know and what continues to feel stuck, reactive, and exhausting to experience. I love working with folks who have a curiosity to connect and approach deeper work that goes beyond just talking about, reading about, and knowing what impacted them.

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.
