STOP HIDING, START SHINING.
Therapy for the Queer community in New York City
You're Tired of Feeling Invisible, Alone, and Exhausted.
LET’s unlearn the silence they taught you.
Does it feel like you’re constantly shape-shifting just to survive?
Does it feel like you’re constantly shape-shifting just to survive? Living in a society that questions who you are, especially as LGBTQ+ rights are increasingly threatened, can take a real emotional toll. The weight of navigating spaces that have not been built with you in mind can become too heavy to carry alone.
You may be navigating relationship dynamics that leave you feeling unseen or family bonds held together by conditional love. Perhaps you've spent years prioritizing others’ comfort over your own authenticity, editing your stories, softening your truth, and adjusting your presence just to feel safe.
Maybe you've become an expert at staying small, strategically invisible, modifying your voice, your mannerisms, and the way you move through the world. All while longing to be fully seen and celebrated?
You don’t have to do that anymore.
Is this your experience?
Wrestling with internalized messages about who you "should" be
Feeling exhausted from constant coming out decisions
Managing the impact of discrimination or microaggressions
Struggling to find genuine connection in queer spaces
Carrying the weight of past rejection or family strain
Navigating dating and relationships in a heteronormative world
Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy can help you find clarity and confidence in who you really are.
Therapy can help you find the freedom to just be. It’s not easy to keep pretending you’re someone you’re not, especially when it feels like parts of you are constantly being overlooked or misunderstood.
If you’re tired of feeling like you have to manage your identity in different spaces, or constantly wrestle with the weight of being misunderstood, therapy can support you in letting go of that burden.
We’ll work through the pain of not being fully seen or accepted. Therapy can offer you a space to process that exhaustion and reconnect with your true self. Together, we’ll explore how to step into your power and embrace your authenticity.
It’s important for you to know: You are capable of creating a life that celebrates every part of you.
When the world asks you to shrink, therapy helps you expand back into your full self.

Together, we’ll explore your experience in a way that affirms all of you, without asking you to leave anything behind.
