My journey stems from my own story of resilience in the face of hardships. I became a therapist because I have always wanted to help people through some of their darkest hours. Being exposed to some dark hours myself, I know that it is difficult to do it alone. When you have someone to confide in, assist you through the hard times, and just let you know that you are not alone, makes a difference.

My therapeutic approach includes CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Relational Therapy, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, SFT, EFT, IFS, and just speaking like a human being. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach is relational and personalized—we'll explore your story together, build coping tools, and move toward healing with curiosity, courage, and care.

Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and never boring. I mix honesty, humor, and heart to make the process comfortable. I help adults manage emotions, build confidence, and tackle life's challenges with tools that work. Think of it as a safe space to be yourself, grow, and maybe laugh along the way.

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 Lexington

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Lexington starts with identifying care that is affirming, informed, and relevant to your needs. You may want support related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention LGBTQIA+-affirming care, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, or training related to transgender and gender-expansive care. These details can help you find a therapist whose background aligns with what you want to discuss.

Lexington has a growing mental health care community, but affirming therapists may be fewer than general therapy options in some parts of the area. Virtual appointments can expand your search beyond offices near your home, campus, or workplace while still keeping care accessible. As you narrow your options, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios closely can show how each therapist describes their style, experience with LGBTQIA+ populations, and approach to care.

Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare therapists by specialty, availability, appointment format, and insurance fit, then book directly when you’re ready.
