You may feel stuck in the same patterns, even when you want to respond differently. Maybe you get defensive, shut down, overthink, criticize, chase reassurance, or pull away. In therapy, we’ll slow these moments down and understand what is being triggered underneath. Together, we’ll explore how your family dynamics, past roles, and early relationship experiences may still be shaping how you show up today, so you can respond with more awareness, choice, and connection.

I believe that all of the fulfillment that you seek to find externally, can be found within you. A lot of times, people spend their lives seeking ways to find joy and happiness in other things. This often leads to missing out on the beauty that is unfolding within their present day. It is easy for people to become consumed by their everyday lives and even easier to miss out on the simple things that bring happiness.

Having to choose between the life you love and others' expectations is exhausting. You need a therapist who won't pathologize your choices and judge your lifestyle. You walk your own path—sexuality, relationships, spirituality—but get stuck in destructive patterns, sabotaging what you want, wondering if something's fundamentally wrong with you. Maybe past therapy left you feeling labeled. But you're ready to make a change. You're ready to break free from shame and reclaim your power and embody who you're meant to be. You deserve a therapist that gets it.

Hi! I’m Rachel. I support adults and teens (16+) in working through neurodivergence (ADHD/Autism), trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, sexuality, and gender. My clients are often people who’ve learned to appear ‘fine’ on the outside while quietly feeling like they don’t quite fit in. Whether you’re figuring out who you are, unlearning old messages, or trying to thrive in a world that feels like it was not built for you, I aim to create a space in therapy to explore it all. I affirm all identities and experiences (LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, kinky, etc.) and approach therapy through a lens of social justice and equity.

Has life started to feel automatic? You may be getting things done, showing up where you need to, and still feeling strangely absent from your own experience. I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves and others, or uncertain about the life they want to be living. Together, we slow things down and look at what keeps you stuck, noticing what’s been happening on repeat and what shifts when you begin to respond differently. This work is about making more space for presence, connection, and intentional living.

Being a person in the world today is more challenging than it has ever been. Sometimes we carry habits and beliefs into adulthood that can make it even harder. As we go through life we develop skills and interpret information in ways that help us to survive and cope with our environment. It is the brain's way of protecting us and preventing future pain. None of us are broken, but we may be applying skills and information in the present that are no longer helpful or relevant. I believe that developing awareness and understanding of these core beliefs and instincts is the first step toward healing and creating lasting change.

I’m a queer and neurodivergent affirming therapist who helps clients manage burnout, people-pleasing, ADHD, and overthinking. Are you burnt out from masking? You may carry emotional exhaustion or chronic stress while trying to anticipate others' needs — and for the life of you, you can’t find your sunglasses even (or especially) when they’re in your hand or on top of your head.
Tired of being your own bully? If you want boundaries, self-compassion, a deeper understanding of your brain, and authentic connection in a space where your queer identity, neurodivergence, and lived experience are truly seen, you’re in the right place.

While I work with ALL relationships, I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ couples, offering an informed, collaborative space to unpack what’s not working and to develop practical tools you can begin using right away to reconnect. If your relationship feels like a rollercoaster, connected one moment, then distant the next, you’re not alone. Many couples start with love and good intentions, but get stuck in patterns that leave them feeling unheard and overwhelmed.

One of the hardest parts of therapy is making that first call. You’re realizing that something needs to change in your life or maybe you’ve been thinking about therapy for a while and now you’re having to find that right fit on your own. It can feel difficult to make those moves, especially when you’re feeling down or lost. You deserve to feel heard, held, and empowered.
Often, we find ourselves in patterns we desperately want out of. I work with individuals who struggle to cope emotionally or with keeping up with daily life.

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.
