I specialize in working with adults experiencing a variety of anxiety disorders, including panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and phobias, as well as adults with ADHD. I also support clients who have difficulty regulating emotions and navigating the impact these patterns can have on relationships. Many of my clients are thoughtful, insightful, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in exhausting cycles of fear, reassurance-seeking, self-doubt, and overstimulation. You may feel like you know better, but anxiety continues to run the show. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, safe, and able to show up exactly as you are.

Happy patient looking away

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 a Therapist in Orlando

Finding the right LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Orlando starts with knowing what kind of support you're looking for. Some people seek help with concerns directly related to identity — like coming out, navigating relationships, or processing minority stress. Others want a provider who affirms their identity while focusing on something else entirely, like anxiety, depression, or ADHD. Both are valid reasons to look for an affirming provider, and Orlando's mental health community includes licensed therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists with experience across a wide range of concerns.

When evaluating providers, look for licensed professionals (such as an LMHC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who describe their approach to LGBTQIA+ care in their bio. Details about their training, therapeutic style, and the populations they work with can help you decide if they're a good match before you reach out. A free phone consultation is another way to gauge fit — you can ask about their experience and see if the connection feels right.

Therapy in Orlando can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who is both affirming and affordable.
