LGBTQIA+ affirming, compassionate therapy. Feeling disoriented after a loss, a shift in identity, or a relationship change is common for LGBTQ+ people and can bring grief and overwhelming anxiety. You might be navigating mourning, questioning who you are, or carrying the exhaustion of constant uncertainty and not feeling seen. Therapy can help you find steadiness and rediscover what feels true. I work with the specific impacts of grief, identity shifts, and anxiety so these experiences do not keep you stuck. Together, we will name what matters, process painful experiences, and build practical steps toward feeling more like yourself.
I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirming care, grief work, and anxiety. In sessions we will focus on understanding what you are carrying, processing losses and identity changes, and developing clear coping strategies for day-to-day life. Working together, the goal is to lessen overwhelm, relieve anxiety, and help you move forward with greater clarity.
I work with a diverse range of adults including those in the LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent communities. Call or message me for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit. You can expect a compassionate, steady space where change is possible. I offer online therapy across New York; in-network with Aetna; weekday, daytime, and evening openings.
