I'm Essy, a licensed therapist passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals in their journeys toward self-discovery, healing, and personal empowerment. With a unique blend of lived experience and professional training, I specialize in helping clients confront and navigate complex challenges related to identity, trauma, and mental health in a world that often misunderstands or marginalizes them. My goal is to create a therapeutic space that fosters genuine self-acceptance and growth, allowing clients to feel seen, heard, and empowered to thrive authentically.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, I aim to create a warm and welcoming environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story. We'll discuss what has brought you to therapy, touch on any immediate concerns, and explore what you’re hoping to achieve. You can expect to leave feeling seen, heard, and valued, knowing you have a partner in your journey toward healing and empowerment.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a therapist lie in my empathetic understanding, informed by my own lived experience as an LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individual. I bring a nonjudgmental, straightforward communication style that helps clients feel at ease, ensuring they feel validated and understood. My approach is centered on empowering clients to connect present experiences to past influences, using evidence-based strategies that honor each client’s unique path and goals.
