Approximately 90% of my clients identify as transgender or non-binary.
I strive to be the most effective therapist I can be for my clients. For me, being effective means helping clients succeed in learning new skills, developing upon skills they already have, and reaching their goals. In other words, helping my clients get to a place where they don’t need my services anymore. Compassion for others and wanting to help people is what started me on the path to becoming a therapist, but seeing my clients grow stronger and succeed is what makes me want to come to work every day.

Wichita seems to be lacking in qualified professionals who treat gender dysphoria or gender identity issues.
As a LSCSW (Licensed Clinical Master Social Worker), my clinical training enables me to treat a variety of clinical issues such as, but not limited to; anxiety, depression, child behavioral problems, anger, trauma, ADHD as well as relational issues involving couples and families. Honoring each person's unique perspective, I seek to help children, adolescents, adults, couples and families work through difficult feelings, enhance their ability to cope with stress, change destructive patterns, adjust to change, and find a renewed sense of belonging in life, work, and relationships.

If you are neurodivergent (Autistic, ADHD, OCD, etc.), or gender diverse ( transgender, non-binary, gender-queer, etc.), LGBTQIA+, relationship diverse (polyamory, non-monogamus, etc.), people of marginalized communities (non-white, PoC, multicultured, etc.) look no further. I believe in humanity and the human experience, and understand existing in a world that is not open to diversity and accpetance and how this leads to mental health overload. I will honor your unique culture or experience and provide you with ethical therapeutic treatment that meets your needs and culture.

Many people have to choose between safety and living their lives authentically. Maybe you can relate; you hide parts of who you are to protect yourself from invalidation, discrimination, or rejection. We all need safe places and safe people. Therapy can provide that sense of safety to allow you to be who you truly are and empower you to move towards the life you want to live. It can be scary reaching out to a new therapist, and it can be a wonderful gift to yourself. I believe that you deserve kindness, peace of mind and support. Therapy can be the first step in your journey of self-acceptance and being your authentic self.

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.
