Non-Binary Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA
As your therapist, I’ll walk alongside you in cultivating self-compassion, curiosity, and the courage to face life’s challenges. No two people are alike, so our work will be collaborative and tailored to your needs, history, and goals. My style is warm, grounded, and authentic, creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I draw from trauma-informed, feminist, humanistic, psychoanalytic, relational, and existential perspectives to explore both the deeper roots of struggle and the possibilities for growth—with openness, curiosity, and meaningful, lasting change at the center.

My passion lies in providing inclusive, comprehensive, and accessible care. I believe that healing work is social justice work. My practice has a strong focus on LGBTQIA folks, social justice oriented community members, misfits, outsiders, neurodivergent and alternative relationship styles (including poly and kink aligned). I love to work with my non-binary and transgender communities to thrive and navigate all of life’s transitions. I support clients living with chronic pain and illness (currently respecting the energy you are using right now to look for a therapist!).

I’m a white, queer, nonbinary/trans human and therapist. From my own lived experiences, and in working with clients, I have seen how difficult it can be to navigate a world that expects you to bend to fit. I primarily provide relationship counseling and individual counseling to clients exploring and navigating: polyamory, non-monogamy, kink, gender identity, sexuality, intimacy and relationship concerns. Some of the most common things I hear from people seeking support involve life transitions within relationships (having children, identities shifting), communication challenges, sexual concerns, and rebuilding trust after infidelity

My approach is rooted in honoring the deep impact of relationships and the resiliency of adaptive strategies people learn to cope and survive. Getting to know these patterns within the family, community, and ecological contexts we are living through can empower people towards more agency and living in alignment with their values. I work best with other humans seeking justice and liberation, and many of my clients are community organizers, care workers, poly couples, and trans folks.

You’ve been carrying this weight for too long. Maybe it’s the memory you can’t shake, the panic that blindsides you, the shame that sticks no matter how much you try to outthink it. You’ve held it together for everyone else—at work, at home, in relationships—but inside, it feels like you’re still stuck in the same loop.
You want more than survival. You want to feel calm in your own body, to stop replaying the past, to trust yourself again. You want your relationships to feel easier, your emotions to feel manageable, and your life to finally feel like it’s yours.

I’m a queer, nonbinary, chronically ill, and neurodiverse therapist who knows firsthand how hard it can be to exist in a world not designed for you. I work with trans and gender-diverse kids and teens, neurodivergent clients of all ages, and those living with disability to explore identity, navigate change, and make life feel more possible. In our sessions, we might laugh, cry, vent, or problem-solve - whatever the moment calls for. I show up candidly and without judgment, creating a space where you never have to justify who you are. My ethics don’t shift with politics; you are radically safe with me.

My therapeutic approach derives from a mind/body, somatic, energetic and systemically aware orientation to healing that considers the whole person. I work well with creative, inquisitive, growth oriented, and intuitive folks invested in their healing or growth process, and who desire therapeutic support. I love supporting people in doing deeper healing work, working through impactful life events, or working towards big dreams. I believe we are deeply impacted by the cultural, social and historical contexts to which we originate, exist, and navigate; therefore I strive to attune to and support these facets of your experience.

I work with adults who are untangling layers of trauma, identity, and life transitions. Many of my clients are queer, trans, neurodivergent, or chronically ill and looking for a therapist who understands those lived realities.
Together we explore how old stories, cultural messages, and body-based experiences shape self-worth & relationships. I use humor, curiosity, and creativity to help people feel supported in bringing their full selves to therapy.
Whether we’re working with grief, trauma, or identity exploration, I see myself as a fellow traveler - someone to walk alongside you as you reclaim your voice and reimagine your story.

“Yoga means addition—addition of energy, strength, and beauty to body, mind, and soul.”—Amit Ray, Indian author and spiritualist In order to get to the root of what’s causing your discomfort we have to go towards and not away.

I see myself as both a support and a fierce advocate for clients to assist with their growth and navigation through the barriers. Through the addition of support and guidance I can help increase your energy strength and beauty of your self as a whole.

Are you queer, trans/GNC, or neurospicy? Maybe you're struggling with identity, chronic health issues, self-esteem, or trying to break cycles of generational trauma. You want therapy that feels real - where you can swear, laugh, talk about the uncomfortable, and exist without judgment. To challenge the systems causing you harm, reconnect with yourself, and maybe even feel a little hopeful again. It can feel comforting knowing your therapist has walked a similar path, that your own identities are reflected in them, and that they can see the truth of your experiences because they've been through it, too. Let me walk with you.

As a therapist, I strive to provide my patients with a balance of validation and challenge. When we feel stuck, taking action and making change can seem impossible. Together, we can explore your strengths and how those can guide you through your fears and anxieties. I utilize a strength-based approach designed to treat you as an individual, with all the unique experiences and perspectives you bring to the therapy setting.

And even as we resist the messaging of our world, we all accumulate the trauma of surviving. I am here to support you as you learn and grow despite. Despite the hurdles, the trauma, the barriers. I am here to collaborate in healing and dreaming new worlds with you.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
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.
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.
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.
