I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides a sophisticated intellectual partnership for adults who feel internally chaotic despite external high-performance. My approach is designed for the intellectually curious—the high-achiever navigating "fraud" syndrome, complex trauma, or intense emotional volatility. I offer a high-fidelity space where we move beyond standard therapeutic scripts to name the underlying patterns you have been living in but could not quite see.

Therapist

Virtual • Fort Wayne, IN


Great to meet you. If you have been carrying more than most people realize, therapy can be a place to finally feel seen, supported, and understood. You may be navigating PTSD that still impacts your daily life, anxiety that fills every quiet moment, mood shifts that feel difficult to predict, anger that rises before you can stop it, depression, panic, grief, relationship stress, family issues, ADHD, OCD, substance use concerns, or the emotional toll of a chronic health condition. I work with adults, children, and seniors who want more than someone simply listening from a distance. My goal is to walk beside you with honesty, skill, practical tools, and a therapeutic relationship built on transparency and trust. Whether you are working through trauma, identity concerns, cultural stressors, women’s issues, LGBTQIA+ experiences, transgender issues, or major life stress, you deserve support that meets you where you are and helps you move forward.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Fort Wayne

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fort Wayne starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist who names experience with LGBTQIA+ populations and the specific support you want, such as identity exploration, family or relationship concerns, gender-diverse care, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Bios may also mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or experience supporting transgender, nonbinary, queer, and questioning people.

Fort Wayne has a steady mental health care network, but therapists with explicit LGBTQIA+ experience may be more limited than in larger cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping access local to Indiana. As you compare therapists, consider availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and what their profile says about communication style, therapeutic approach, and experience with LGBTQIA+ clients.

Therapy in Fort Wayne can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
