I specialize in providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative counseling and work with those experiencing body shaming, anti-fatness, depression, anxiety, gender dysphoria, communication difficulties, low self-worth, relationship stressors and the effects of oppression.
You have the right to be seen, valued, heard, and supported. Your sexual orientation, body size, and more are wonderful parts of you. And yet, we live in a society, and sometimes in families and relationships, where being who we are and living in our bodies comes with stress and leads to feelings of anxiety, depression, and more. I see you and I am here to support you and walk beside you, helping you to process your thoughts and feelings to live an emotionally fulfilling life.

Ideally I work well with clients who desire a change of any kind in their life. Whether it be a personal change or changing external factors. I work well with individuals who are looking to grow and ready to invest in themselves and their own peace of mind. During clinical work I view myself through the metaphoric lens of a GPS guiding the driver of the car. I offer possible choices and directions to go but it is up to the driver to decide which direction is best for them. Different things work for different people and I am here to accommodate for those factors.

I enjoy working with Clients of all ages and a variety of struggles. I place a strong emphasis on the therapist-Client relationship because I believes it is the key to creating long-lasting change.

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.
