Life has a way of shaping us. Sometimes our experiences leave us feeling anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns we can’t seem to change. You may be navigating trauma, loss, painful relationships, or life transitions that have left you feeling unlike you. If so, I want you to know you’re not alone, and more importantly, you’re not broken. Many of the ways we cope today were once our mind and body’s best attempt to help us survive. Rather than asking, “What’s wrong with me?” we can explore, “What happened to me, and what do I need now?” Together, we’ll move toward healing with curiosity, compassion, and connection.

In facing life’s challenges, I believe in the importance of asking ourselves, “What’s right with me?” and identifying and building on our strengths. I enjoy accompanying people in exploring themselves with non-judgmental curiosity as they develop greater awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and ways of dealing with whatever life has in store. How have these been influenced by personal experiences growing up and by larger social factors? Gaining this insight allows us to discover what changes might be right for us or to come to accept ourselves just as we are.

You can look successful, capable, and put-together, and still feel like your nervous system is stuck in overdrive. I work with high-functioning women in Connecticut who feel chronically stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted, even after years of therapy or “doing everything right.” You’re insightful and self-aware, yet your body doesn’t get the message that it’s safe to slow down. You may notice tension, overthinking, people-pleasing, difficulty resting, or a sense that you’re always bracing for what’s next.

I work with adolescents (14+) and adults who may appear put together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck internally. Many are navigating anxiety, depression, past experiences that continue to affect them, relationship stress, or life transitions. I also support individuals from diverse and multicultural backgrounds, including those navigating identity and acculturation. Clients often seek a space where they can feel understood, gain clarity, and begin to reconnect with themselves.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
