My approach is collaborative, creative, and grounded in body awareness and compassion. I’m a licensed, board‐certified Art Therapist with training in somatic and sex therapy. My work is culturally responsive and affirming, especially of LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC identities. I’m passionate about helping people heal from shame, body disconnection, and identity‐related challenges, and about supporting couples navigating differences in desire and intimacy. My background in art therapy shapes sessions that often weave creativity, expression, and the body as pathways toward healing. I hope that therapy can offer you a deeper sense of belonging.

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.
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Buffalo starts with looking for identity-affirming care. A therapist’s experience with LGBTQIA+ concerns can shape how they support identity exploration, gender dysphoria, relationship stress, family dynamics, anxiety, or depression. As you compare options, look for therapists who list affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct work with LGBTQIA+ communities in their profiles.
Buffalo has a broad mental health care community, but the number of therapists with explicit LGBTQIA+ experience may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual sessions can expand your options if you want an affirming therapist who may be a good fit for your needs and accepts your insurance. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for details on populations served, therapy approach, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Buffalo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that process clearer by showing estimated costs before you book. You can search for LGBTQIA+ therapists, enter your insurance details, review therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
