Everyone is on a journey and searching for something: meaning, purpose, belonging, or connection. In our journey, we inevitably become lost or stuck. We can lose our sense of direction, or the path becomes too dense for us to continue forward. As a counselor, I see myself as a fellow traveler, working in collaboration with my clients. My clients invite me to walk with them, and together we can clear the path or find a new direction.

You’re probably tired of hearing, “just breathe,” or “try to relax.” If it were that simple, you wouldn’t feel like you’re spinning out of control, right? Some days, it feels like you’re barely keeping it together—your thoughts race, your chest tightens, and the world feels just a bit too loud, too much. Maybe it’s the weight of old wounds, those emotional scars you’ve hidden so well that even you don’t fully acknowledge them. Or maybe, it’s the constant pressure to be ‘okay’ when inside, you’re anything but. You don’t want someone to tell you to calm down—you want someone to actually get it.

If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, or both, you know depression is more than just feeling sad and anxiety is more than just feeling worried. Depression can cause overwhelming sadness, take away your joy and motivation, and leave you feeling hopeless and alone. Anxiety may feel like a heavy weight on your chest. It can make it hard to breath or may even cause panic attacks. What you are feeling is your mind and body's way of telling you that they can't take the pain anymore. They are begging you to get help. Are you ready to listen? Are you ready to free yourself from the pain? Are you ready to feel joy and peace again?

I accept everyone as they are and where they are.

Our lives are full of various transitions as we grow. Some transformations may result in distress, some may be positive, all of which impact us and who we are. I believe that our experiences can be problematic when they do not fit our understanding of who and how we show up in the world. Whether you are noticing an unexplainable change, searching for a transition, or experiencing a major life shift, therapy can be a space where that change can play out and be acknowledged with safety. Together we can embrace your authentic experience, make meaning out life fluctuations, and thrive as the most congruent version of you.

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.
