LGBTQ+ Therapy in Richmond, Virginia
You shouldn’t have to explain who you are to feel safe in therapy.
You’ve spent a lot of your life trying to be what other people needed—staying quiet to avoid conflict, shrinking parts of yourself to feel safe, and overthinking every little thing.
Now, you’re tired. You’re doing all the things—showing up for your partner, your kids, your job—and still feel like it’s never enough. Underneath it all, there’s this deep sense of disconnection from yourself. Like somewhere along the way, you stopped checking in with what you actually want or need.
Maybe you’ve tried therapy before, but it felt too clinical—or worse, like you were the one doing all the educating. You deserve better.
This is a space for LGBTQ+ folks who are done performing and just want to feel like themselves again.
Therapy for Queer Adults Who Feel Like They're “Too Much” and “Not Enough” at the Same Time
I work with LGBTQ+ women, queer folks, and gender-expansive adults who are:
Constantly second-guessing themselves and overanalyzing every decision
Exhausted from being everything to everyone
Feeling stuck in relationships where they give more than they get
Struggling with guilt anytime they set a boundary or say no
Burnt out from holding it all together while silently falling apart
Questioning their identity, navigating old wounds, or just feeling disconnected from who they are
You might describe it like…
“I feel like I’m unraveling.”
“Everyone thinks I’m fine, but I feel numb.”
“I don’t even know what I need anymore.”
“It’s like I’m constantly on edge, and I can’t turn it off.”
If any of that sounds familiar—you’re in the right place.
You don’t have to be “on” here…
This isn’t the kind of therapy where you have to have the perfect words or filter what you’re feeling. You don’t have to pretend. You don’t have to explain your pronouns or justify your identity. You just get to show up exactly as you are.
What therapy looks like with me…
I show up as a real person, not a blank slate
We explore your patterns with curiosity, not shame
You’ll get gentle truth-telling, not toxic positivity
Sometimes we talk, sometimes we use art to get to what’s underneath the surface
You’ll leave with practical tools and a deeper connection to yourself
We go at your pace. And we make space for the messy, beautiful, complicated parts of your story.
Therapy Can Help You:
Stop feeling like you’re always “on” and start feeling more grounded
Understand where that voice of self-doubt comes from—and quiet it
Set boundaries without spiraling into guilt or fear of disappointing others
Heal from the shame and confusion you’ve been carrying for years
Feel more at home in your body, your identity, and your relationships
Create space for your own needs, not just everyone else’s
Make peace with your past while creating something different for your future
You don’t have to keep pretending you’re fine. We can slow down and figure out what you really need.

Anxiety
Anxiety often shows up as this constant buzzing that wont go away. It’s the tightness in your chest or the racing thoughts that take you out of the present moment and into the fear of the unknown.

Trauma
Healing from trauma is like piecing together a shattered mirror, reflecting not just the scars but the strength that's emerged from the journey. Together, we can create a space to look at those pieces, find a clarity on how they continue to impact us, and rediscover the beauty that's always been within.
