Transgender Therapists in Wake Forest, NC

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a graduate degree from Columbia University, NYC. I have 10 years of experience providing mental health therapy. Life can get overwhelming while balancing life's responsibilities, relationships and self awareness. I am dedicated to creating a space for you to be heard, listened to with compassion and respected. This space will allow for you to develop insight, knowledge and development of your personal goals. Whatever you are struggling with, whether it is sadness, worry, family issues, self esteem/identity issues, life adjustments/traumas, grief, etc. I look forward to working with you.

Welcome to a therapeutic space where diversity is celebrated, and healing is inclusive of all identities. As a compassionate therapist specializing in mental health, LGBTQ+ issues, and substance abuse, I am dedicated to providing support and guidance to individuals navigating the complexities of their lives. Recognizing the interconnectedness of mental health, sexual orientation, gender identity, and substance use, I offer a holistic approach that honors the unique experiences and challenges of each individual. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, or the intersection of these issues, I can help!

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship between client and clinician is key in order for growth to happen. Once mutual respect and trust are established, I work toward gaining a deeper understanding of the client, their needs, and what obstacles they’ve found themselves faced with. I offer a space of non-judgment, empathy, and support in which clients can feel safe to open up and share their authentic selves. Upon meeting, I'll work with the client to create a treatment plan and goals, knowing that there is no one-size-fits-all plan. I most commonly work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, and family issues.

Often children ask for help is ways we do not understand. Yelling, hitting, no communication, self-harm, change in social habits. Through soothing and hands-on sessions such as painting and sand, calming music and a lot of plants, let's figure out the angry and what we can do instead of yelling. Why the self-harming and what are other ways to manage? What is the root of the family fights? Anxiety does not need to control you. Parents, let's find something different to do because at the end of the day, I know you want happiness and love. Come as you are. I embrace all with a warm heart, an open ear and with hot chocolate :)

The past 20 years of partnering with a wide range of people through times of struggle has taught me we often underestimate our own resilience, or our resilience as a couple. It leads to worry, anger, depression, suspicion, guilt, frustration, loneliness, resentment, shame, panic... all the emotions we try so hard to avoid. Consider a teammate for this part of the journey to help you take greater control of your own growth. A partner who can listen intently, offer perspective, brainstorm with you, help you develop new insights and skills, and support you in making changes to create a life - or relationship - you love.

Each potential client is different and brings different values and challenges to therapy. The goals, needs, or issues of every single person are just as important to me as my own, therefore I approach each client using a client-centered or Person-Centered Approach to ensure I am putting the needs of my clients before my own. My goal as a client-centered therapist is to prioritize the well-being of the individuals I serve and who place their trust in me as a licensed counselor.

Video on Website Link - not currently accepting new clients- I believe life should be a lot easier then it is. We all get pushed past our limits that challenge who we think we are. The pressure changes us into different people. How do we get past reacting to life and get on to living life intentionally? The answer is not easy, because there are many factors that fracture our attention, steal our resources, and prevent progress. My job is to help change these factors to set you up for success and aid in defining what success means for you.

I earned my bachelor's degree in Social Work from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (AGGIE Pride!). I began my Social Work career working in different capacities of local school systems, with mentoring, teaching, and working as a liaison between the school system and the local communities and families. I have been passionate about advocating for the youth and my local community. After a few years of working with adolescents, I began to embark on my Master’s degree and I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Master's in Social Work and a concentration in families and children.
