Difficult situations can be worked through with proper care and support. Being an open-minded and empathetic therapist creates an environment of trust and partnership with clients to tackle any challenge that may arise.

Empowerment gives you the confidence to make decisions that positively affect your life. I provide a safe place to share, vent, cry, adjust, brainstorm, plan, and heal. My ultimate goal is to help each client achieve a sense of well-being and life satisfaction.

As a counselor, I believe that working through issues such as depression, anxiety, co-dependency, addictions... in present time is very important, along with examining wounds from childhood that are barriers to moving forward. Through this work, healing can occur with understanding, self-compassion, authenticity, and positive change. Most people come to therapy related to feelings based on fear or pain. I provide a warm and compassionate place that allows my clients to openly share and have a voice that is respected and heard. I look forward to hearing your story.

You want to appear in control and confident, but deep down you are struggling to make decisions, set goals, or cope with challenges and emotions. You want to experience peace and happiness, but you feel empty or overwhelmed. Anxiety, depression, addiction, or life stress can leave us feeling out of control, distant, and hopeless. Together, we can process these thoughts and feelings, and identify your path to growth and contentment.

Not accepting new clients
Something is holding you back from connecting with others and even with yourself. It could be a history of trauma, bullying, or bad relationships. It could be low self-esteem or self-confidence. It could be that you are in a sexual, gender, or religious minority and just haven't found "your people" yet. Whatever the reason, you're over it. You are ready to take up space, start loving yourself, and start accepting love from others around you.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
