LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy in Brooklyn, NY

Finding a therapist who truly understands the nuances of queer life can be incredibly challenging. Concerns about whether a potential therapist will “get” you, respect your relationships, or understand the complex interplay between your sexual or gender identity and the rest of your life are of the utmost importance when selecting the right fit. LGBTQ+ community care holds profound personal and professional significance for me. Over the past decade, my Brooklyn-based practice has served lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, questioning, and non-monogamous adults. While not every LGBTQ+ person comes to therapy needing to focus specifically on their identity, these identities are inextricably linked to how we navigate our family dynamics, career growth, and community spaces.

Tailored support for the queer community

I work alongside queer clients to provide support with:

  • Exploring and embracing intersecting gender and sexual identities

  • Navigating the coming out process at any stage of life

  • Building healthy, affirming relationships

  • Creating and sustaining emotional boundaries and self-protection

  • Processing minority stress, marginalization, and microaggressions

Letters of support for gender-affirming care

I provide letters of support for gender-affirming procedures in full compliance with WPATH and GALAP standards when required by insurance companies and/or surgeons. It is best that the therapy has been taking place for some time before I provide this or any other type of letter; however, if you are in need of a letter of support and in a time-sensitive situation, please reach out and specify the request in your message.

LGBTQ+ family planning & perinatal support

I work with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples in all stages of family building. You may be:

  • Figuring out if having kids is right for your family

  • Wondering how this will all work (Whose genes do we use? Who will carry? Do we find a surrogate? Can we even afford all this?)

  • Coping with the grief that comes with infertility or loss

  • Welcoming a little one into your home and thinking ‘now what?’

I am here to offer the space, warmth, and understanding you deserve - without you having to explain the basics. My support group for new moms/birthing/default parents is welcoming to new queer parents looking for community.
