Much of my work is centered around gender – from issues surrounding identity exploration, to social/medical transition, to gender dysphoria, to gender-identity-related interpersonal challenges. Some of my favorite work is in helping to bridge the communication gaps between teens and their families after a teen has come out as trans/gender nonconforming! I also have experience with depression, anxiety, substance use, military families, sexuality and sexual health, emetophobia (phobia of vomit), phase-of-life challenges, uncertainty/anxiety about the future, kink/BDSM, and partner conflict/miscommunication.

Life can be hard and throw numerous obstacles in our way. Individuals I work with tend to experience stress and other symptoms that are getting in the way of their ultimate happiness and other important goals. I help others by building a strong foundation in the relationship between the therapist and the client. I tailor treatment with the client's goals in mind. To do this, I use evidence-based treatments as well as a blend of evidence-informed practices.

I believe that in life, we all want to be the very best versions of ourselves. However, along the journey of life’s path we often find ourselves off course. Sometimes, it’s due to reasons we contribute to. Sometimes, it is due to outside influences. Sometimes, it is due to reasons we have no control over. I believe therapy is the process of working with an individual, to help put them back on this path and work towards the best version of themselves. In our daily lives, we are faced with challenges; however, it is the way in which we respond to those challenges that helps us find success in our own mental health.

The goal is to offer insights that empower clients to address their challenges and move forward with clarity and confidence in their mental health and overall well-being.

Do you want to understand grief better and the ways in which grief is impacting you? Do you need someone to listen? Do you need some validation that you are not going crazy? Grief affects people in many ways (cognitively, spiritually, physically, relationally, and so on). It can be helpful to talk about what or who you have lost as well as get information about the process. The world does not have a realistic timeline for how long grief can last, nor do they understand it. This can result in the grieving person feeling misunderstood, forgotten about or shunned.
