Welcome to my profile! You may feel tension between who you are and what the world wants you to be. There are certain expectations of you and at times, it feels like the world is on your shoulders. Feelings of sadness, anxiety, low self-esteem and frustration keep boiling to the surface. You want to confide with your family, friends or a significant other but you just can’t. You can’t share this tension and pain of failing with others because your true colors will show. You will show, who you really are.

Oh, hi! I'm Jay (they/them) and I'm a queer, white therapist that works with other queer folks. I don't do "neutral" and therapy/social work IS political. I won't pretend that many of the struggles folks face are not connected to and often rooted in systems of oppression and power. If you're looking for therapy that sidesteps, or worse, blatantly ignores those realities, I'm not the therapist for you. I'd be happy to point you in the direction of a better fit.

Healing is neither linear nor neat, and many truths can co-exist: you can become someone new while still mourning who you were; engage in inner work and continue to be triggered; make mistakes and still practice self-forgiveness; and make progress yet still have difficult days. Healing is not about becoming more palatable, acceptable, or loveable; it is about growing in the ways you were always meant to. I provide a safe space that welcomes you to feel hurt, angry, sad, confused- whatever serves you- to feel seen.

The people I work with have dedicated a lot of energy toward being successful or filling challenging roles. Even when it's tied to a passion or love, being driven can come with a lot of stress. Over time, stress can leave people feeling like something is “off,” pressurized, or missing. When we experience big life changes or repeating patterns, the sense that something isn’t working can be heightened. We all have the innate ability to adapt, refocus, and reconnect to what's important. You can find new insights and start making changes, even if you're not sure what that looks like yet.

You've built a life that looks successful from the outside. But internally, you may be navigating anxiety, relational strain, health challenges, or a quiet sense that you're not operating at the level you know you're capable of. Smart, driven people often find that success doesn't automatically translate into peace, connection, or fulfillment.

My ideal clients are those that don't fit the mold. Someone who’s always doodling when you’re supposed to be listening in class, the teen who’s mastered the fine art of procrastination, or the college student who has a desktop full of tabs and a backpack full of… who knows what. Or maybe you’re just tired of hearing “Why can’t you just remember your stuff?” and want someone who won’t judge you for losing your keys for the fiftieth time. You want support that actually makes sense for your brain, you want to feel less stuck, and, let’s be real, you want desperately to reach your goals, you just may need some help to get there.

I have the utmost respect for lived experience. I'm convinced we are influenced by early relationships and unconscious patterns, as well as social, cultural, and systemic forces that surround us. Experiences such as racism, gendered expectations, economic pressure, and trauma don’t just happen “outside” of us—they profoundly influence how we see ourselves and relate to others. There is a unique pain that comes from trying to survive in a world that often wasn’t built with us in mind. By understanding how past experiences and present social realities intersect, we can build greater insight, self-compassion, growth, and resilience.

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.
