I work with couples and new parents as they navigate the big changes that come with parenthood and partnership. This includes everything from adjusting to life with a new child to coping with loss or infertility. I also support individuals moving through trauma, anxiety, eating disorders, grief, and life transitions. Together, we create a warm, non-judgmental space to explore your story and take steps toward healing and growth. I primarily draw from attachment-based therapy, EMDR, and IFS.

I offer equity pricing! ($50-$150/ session) My work is rooted in anti-oppression frameworks with the goal of creating a collaborative and empowering therapeutic space. I believe there is no one "right" way to navigate the challenges of life, but I'm passionate about helping people find the way that feels best and most authentic for them. My work focuses on helping people to discover and embody the most authentic, genuine versions of themselves. Most often, the issues I work with are Identity (gender, sexuality, and more), Neurodivergence (OCD, Autism, and ADHD), Chronic Pain and Illness, Burnout, and Ethical Non-Monogamy.

You thought you’d be bolder by now - you’ve admired rebels and taste-makers your whole life but here you are, in middle age, wondering why you’re always trying to blend in. You manage everyone else’s needs, constantly reading the room, always willing to be flexible to keep the peace. Even “small” things feel impossible, like telling a friend you felt hurt, or changing a holiday tradition that’s always annoyed you. You imagined that time and age would liberate you, but so far, no luck. If anything, adult kids and aging parents are adding new obligations and complications.

At the core of my work is creating a space that feels safe, non-judgmental, and truly supportive for kids, teens and adults. I believe healing begins when we’re met with compassion, curiosity, and the freedom to show up as our full selves, without pressure to mask, explain, or fit into someone else’s expectations. My clients may be struggling with emotional regulation, shutdowns or sensory overload, anxiety/persistent worry and shame or feeling "not good enough". My clients also may focus on understanding their identity, communication/attachment styles or navigating trauma.

Are you on a fertility journey? Have you experienced obstacles along the way? Perhaps nothing is as disempowering as struggling with fertility. For many of us, issues with fertility mark the first time that we have wanted our bodies to do something that they seem not capable of doing. Struggles with fertility are traumatic experiences. Maybe we feel removed from friends with children, siblings with children, or parents who may not understand. Is it any wonder why we may be struggling?

Working through trauma requires tremendous courage. No one wants to find themselves having to focus on healing the past, but once you realize that’s what you need to move forward, there’s no looking back. Whether you are dealing with triggers, flashbacks, nightmares, relationship issues, anxiety, chronic health problems, or simply struggling to stop thinking about unpleasant events from the past, trauma can affect us all differently. I have the experience and training to support you as you shift the patterns you have developed in response to adversity.

Bisexual Therapists

What is bisexual-affirming therapy?

Bisexual-affirming therapy is a type of mental health support that fully affirms and reflects a client’s bisexual identity. It is rooted in acceptance and does not attempt to change or question an individual’s orientation. In this type of therapy, clients work with a therapist who understands the unique experiences of bisexual people. This support is especially important, as research shows that bisexual individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation compared to other groups. Bisexual-affirming therapy acknowledges that bisexual individuals may encounter specific stressors—such as invalidation, relationship challenges, and minority stress—that require specialized understanding and intervention. Many therapists also provide couples therapy for bisexual partners, helping them navigate relationship dynamics, communication challenges, or external stressors that may impact their relationship.

While not required, some clients prefer working with bisexual therapists who may bring personal insight to the therapeutic relationship. However, a non-bisexual therapist with strong training and a genuine commitment to affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who understands how identity impacts mental health and can create a space of trust and respect.

What can a bisexual therapist help with?

Bisexual-affirming therapists can provide support across a wide range of concerns relevant to bisexual individuals. Whether through personal or professional experience, they often have specialized knowledge in areas such as the coming out process, navigating stereotypes, and dealing with common stressors. Relationship support is another key area of focus, as bisexual clients may face unique challenge when dating or maintaining relationships across genders. Affirming therapists can also help clients build coping strategies for managing discrimination or stigma.

Additionally, many bisexual-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. It's important to note that therapists provide can 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.

How do I find a bisexual therapist?

The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for finding bisexual-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.

During initial consultations or early sessions, ask potential therapists about their specific training in bisexual-affirming care, their experience with LGBTQ+ clients, and their therapeutic approach to identity-related concerns. An effective bisexual-affirming therapist will demonstrate genuine understanding of bisexual experiences, including awareness of the unique challenges facing bisexual individuals. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
