LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Provincetown, MA
As a queer therapist, I am passionate about working with adults navigating LGBTQIA+ issues, women’s issues, and family/relationship dynamics (including poly/ENM).
I’m honored to support you on your mental health journey. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and strengths-based, with a focus on helping you access insight, healing, and meaningful growth. I am formally trained in Internal Family Systems therapy and tailor it to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we will explore and heal the different parts of yourself that may be experiencing or contributing to challenges in your life. We do this by accessing your inner wisdom, peace, and self-compassion so you can move toward lasting, positive change.

My style is rooted in the idea of collective liberation, and my clients are most often fellow queer people, conscientious parents and caregivers, those living with chronic illness, survivors of relational and systemic trauma; those with body types, cultural identities, family or relationship structures that are non-normative.
We are living through a time of massive sociopolitical disruption; most of us are feeling that stress. Fortification has been and continues to be a main theme of my work with clients. I believe fortifying ourselves for what’s churning emotionally, economically, physically and otherwise is an important part of what we can do in therapy right now.

Many of my clients are neurodivergent and/or LGBTQ folks.
Currently accepting new clients. Sometimes making a change in our lives is more complicated than simply "trying our best." I work with clients to uncover their own strengths, and to regain power over the areas of life that feel overwhelming or out of control. My energy is warm and friendly, and past clients have appreciated the chance to explore difficult content in a non-judgmental environment. I treat individuals with PTSD and other anxiety and depressive disorders. Additionally, I work with adult adoptees and adoptive parents.

I also help adults with other mood issues, including depression, life problems, aging & relationship issues, couples therapy, grief, work/career problems, LGBTQ & sexual orientation issues.
As an Anxiety Specialist, I help patients navigate today's increasing chaotic and threatening world. My primary treatment is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the most empirically-supported treatment for anxiety-related disorders and depression. I also incorporate elements of Mindfulness, Problem-Solving, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. In addition, I have been trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) by the EMDR Institute. My goal is to help you feel more hopeful, be happier, and have agency with your life.

Clients I’ve worked with longest include those in addiction recovery, couples facing relationship challenges, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and individuals carrying past experiences that still take up space in their minds and lives.
I’ve worked with individuals who’ve felt lost, stuck, or overwhelmed—questioning their relationships, themselves, their emotions, or even their will to keep going. I take a direct yet respectful approach that helps clients uncover inner strengths, gain clarity, and develop new ways of responding to life’s challenges with greater confidence and balance.

You can't understand why with all the therapy you have done, you still don't feel substantially better. Sometimes you think it's analogous to knowing all about the parts of a bike and how it works, but you are still unable to actually ride the bike. You know all about your depression, anxiety or trauma - but you don't feel better.
I also am an approved assistant teacher and session provider through Somatic Experiencing International.

Do you find that you can’t stop thinking about events from the past? Do nightmares make the idea of going to sleep stressful? Or maybe you don’t remember your dreams, but you wake up sweaty with a racing heart? Do your friends and family wonder why you’re shut off; don’t want to spend time with them; or do the things you used to enjoy? Maybe you find yourself getting angry a lot more than you used to. Or find yourself thinking that, “If only I’d done such and such, then things would have been different”, or “It’s my fault that something/blank happened”. Or you’re avoiding certain situations, and it’s harder to function effectively.

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, dissociative disorders, and the intersection of trauma and addiction.
I help people reconnect with themselves—with compassion, clarity, and practical tools. My approach combines education about trauma and its effects with techniques to help you feel safer in your body and more at ease with your emotions. You don’t have to “fix” yourself to start healing—you just need a safe space to be curious about what’s happening.

Therapy should feel like a place where you can show up as yourself, especially when life feels overwhelming or unclear. I work with adolescents and adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their direction in life. A lot of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally dealing with anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on understanding what’s going on, noticing patterns, and figuring out what actually helps you feel more grounded and like yourself again.

I provide affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients and believe meaningful healing begins when you feel genuinely seen, accepted, and supported.
Life doesn't always fit neatly into a box, and neither do the people I work with. I welcome adults from all walks of life who may be navigating major life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, complex mental health concerns, or challenges involving the legal system or family services. I also enjoy working with individuals exploring non-traditional relationships, alternative spiritual paths, and identities that may not always feel understood or accepted by those around them.

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.
