Anxiety, low mood, and the extra weight of navigating LGBTQ+ identity can make everyday life feel unsafe and exhausting. You may replay moments, fear judgment, or feel numb and unsure who will truly understand. Therapy can help, and with steady support, you can find relief from anxiety and depression and begin to feel more like yourself again. These challenges often overlap, affecting sleep, relationships, and self-worth. Together, we’ll identify what drains you, try practical steps, and create a safer, clearer path forward.
With years of experience supporting people facing anxiety, mood disorders, and LGBTQ+ concerns, I combine talk and art-informed work to help you notice patterns and practice manageable changes. Together we aim to reduce overwhelm, lift low mood, and strengthen confidence in your identity and relationships.
Call me for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. Getting help can open the way to steadier days. Fees: $150. Sessions offered online and in person at Park Ridge; evenings available. Insurance: BCBS or self-pay.
