Non-Binary Therapists in Philadelphia, PA
Driven towards the cessation of suffering through self-advocacy and collective action, I have spent over a decade in community-health. I've engaged in service of marginalized folks, the working-class, people living with disability, and the intersections therein. I blend person-centered, psychodynamic therapy with mindful practice to treat anxiety, depression, trauma, gender dysphoria, and even alienation under capitalism. With harm-reduction and strength-building we can engage in a shared space to heal and shape change. Together we strive to cultivate empowerment and forge a path toward contentment, fulfillment, and liberation.

Waitlist for new clients
Hi! I am an LGBTQ-affirming and neurodivergent-affirming therapist who specializes in working with teen, young adult, and family clients around symptoms of depression, Autism, gender dysphoria, and trauma. Therapy can be a vulnerable and formative process, and it is important to find a therapist that feels like a good fit for you! I practice from a relational, social-justice-oriented, trauma-informed, systemic lens. I believe that change comes from authentic connection between a client and a therapist, involvement of a supportive network, and a mutual collaboration around treatment.

Whatever motivates you to come to therapy (challenging relationships, overwhelming emotions, self-defeating patterns, to name a few), I am here to provide you with compassion and genuine curiosity about your experience. As a relational and psychodynamic therapist, I work with you to find insight about how past experiences are shaping your present relationships, self-images and behaviors. Together, we will explore the internal landscape of your thoughts, emotions, and sensations. With this knowledge, and the support of the strong therapeutic relationship we will build, change becomes possible.

Many of us are navigating systems that were not designed to nourish us, and growing through hardships that leave us feeling isolated and overwhelmed. With an emphasis on personal liberation, I aim to empower those most marginalized (i.e. those who are LGBTQ+, POC, &/ Neurodiverse). I also specialize in managing Bipolar Disorder, OCD/OCD-spectrum disorders, PTSD, & Social Anxiety. Psychotherapy skills help us overcome obstacles and create a life of joy and wellbeing. By enhancing your strengths, reworking coping mechanisms, and reframing beliefs about yourself, you can find inner peace.

We tend to think of change and acceptance as opposing truths, as if accepting our situation means doing nothing about it. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach that seeks to transcend this all-or-nothing way of thinking. It teaches us to radically accept our situation as it is, while still working to improve the things within our control. Instead of seeing change and acceptance as opposing truths, DBT allows us to see them as truths that reinforce each other. In other words: embracing acceptance can lead to change, and embracing change can lead to acceptance.

I am an attentive listener, a compassionate peer, and an open-hearted person who is honored to be included in my clients’ worlds. Therapeutic relationships can have profound influence on individuals, but I hope that through these one-on-one connections, there can be a positive impact on the community at large. Living life in our current systems can be incredibly traumatic - I can relate. Heteronormativity and white supremacy limit our potential for expression and connection. As a therapist and rabble rouser, I aid clients in developing affirming relationships and in questioning and complicating the systems that confine them.

I believe we show up best when we have strong, empowered relationships with ourselves and with others. I lean towards a casual and relational yet assertive and steady presence in session. I will challenge you while holding a warm and encouraging space for you to explore and process. I truly enjoy working with folks from all walks of life, but especially with couples and families who may be seen as "non traditional" in all its meaning. I tend to see folks 35+ years old, often partners who have been together a long time and are learning about themselves, grappling with newfound understanding of neurodivergence, opening their relations

Maybe things are feeling out of control? Or perhaps you are feeling alone and you need someone to talk to? It can be difficult to ask for help in those moments, but they are also the most powerful moments to be witnessed and accepted for who you are—to invite and make space for the beauty and the hurt, the difficult, the confusing, and the wonderful. If you reach out, I can provide a space where all parts of you are welcome and seen.

I am dedicated to helping clients achieve balance in their emotional and social well-being, resolve trauma, and create a fulfilling life.

I ask questions, I take notes. I create a plan to help clients learn how to take effective notes in life and journal during sessions with intention. I like to focus on understanding patterns. The ones that get us closest to our best life. Patterns guide us to modalities, or more specifically, patterns help us develop plans and modules for achieving therapy success, at your pace.

I'm a psychotherapist and music therapist who approaches therapy from an anti-oppressive, systems-based perspective. I work with LGBTQIA+ individuals and those in non-traditional family or relationship structures, as well as people navigating grief, chronic or terminal illness, autism, depression, anxiety, and trauma. My goal is to understand the systemic barriers and cultural contexts that impact your well-being and provide a supportive, affirming space where you feel seen, respected, and empowered.

Therapy is about relationships. Whether we are creating personal healing through the therapeutic relationship, changing the way we interact in romantic partnerships, at work, or with family, or shifting our relationship with trauma and other past wounds, we are creating a new space where empathy and compassion can grow. When you make the choice to begin work in therapy, it is a radical act of love, both for the self and for others, and you can expect our work together to reflect this. I work with clients from all backgrounds, but have particular connection to the LGBTQ+, polyam/CNM, kink, artistic, & neurodiverse communities.

Art therapy is not just for artists, and does not require previous art-making experience. As an art therapist, I view art not solely as a form of communication, but also as a means for self-discovery, growth, and healing through the creative process. The healing and creative processes often mirror each other - art therapy encourages nonverbal self-expression, safe release of emotional distress, and meaning-making, and allows for exploration of emotions and experiences using a variety of art materials.

My work is trauma informed, taking into consideration the specific needs of each individual based on their past experiences. When you are aware of the ways you are influenced by your past programming, we can put the tools in your hands to help you take control of your life. I strive to provide you with an empathetic space for you to become your truest self.

What are the advantages of seeing a non-binary therapist?
Working with a non-binary therapist can offer unique benefits for individuals seeking support around gender identity. Therapists who personally identify as non-binary may bring both professional training and personal insight to their work, creating a therapeutic space that some clients may find more affirming and welcoming. These therapists often have specialized knowledge in areas such as gender-affirming care, gender dysphoria, and navigating family or social acceptance. They may also be particularly skilled in helping clients find additional resources, such as affirming healthcare providers or community-based supports that align with and affirm their identity.
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
The gender of your therapist can matter, depending on your individual comfort preferences and therapeutic goals. While therapy outcomes are often driven by the therapist’s methodology and the strength of the therapeutic relationship, many people feel more at ease working with a therapist who shares or understands their gender identity, which can enhance trust and improve therapy outcomes.
For clients who are non-binary or gender-diverse, working with a therapist of a similar identity may reduce the need to explain or justify their experiences and can increase the sense of being seen and understood. This dynamic may be especially important when addressing topics related to gender, sexuality, trauma, or relationships. Ultimately, what matters most is finding a therapist who is respectful and knowledgeable of your identity—regardless of their own gender.

How can I find a non-binary therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for identifying therapists who identify as non-binary. You can use filters to search by identity markers as well as by clinical specialty, therapeutic approach, insurance accepted, session costs, and languages spoken to help ensure a good fit.
During an initial consultation or early sessions, consider asking about the therapist’s training in gender-affirming care, their experience with LGBTQ+ clients, and their therapeutic approach to identity-related topics. An effective therapist will be open and affirming in their responses. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
