I'm glad you're here! My work is firmly rooted in existential humanism, meaning the search for meaning and self-realization is central to our work together. I believe you are the expert on you and your experience and it is my great honor to walk with you on your path. The relationship we will build collaboratively in session will aid you on your healing journey. I am skilled at creating a non-judgmental environment and accepting you where you are, no matter where that is, as we work to shine a light on what once seemed too dark to face.
You are welcome in my practice, regardless of how you identify. I specialize in providing LGBTQIA2S+ competent psychotherapy, with a focus on transgender adolescents, adults, and the families/friends that love them. I am passionate about working with parents and family members who often find themselves on their own journey after a loved one comes out.
From my experience as a client and practitioner, I know that reaching out for help is one of the hardest parts of healing. I am ready to receive you with warmth and understanding, and I honor your courage in taking this first step. Sometimes, when we are suffering, we feel alone. Let's work towards healing together.
