How do you get through the day when it feels like the world is burning down? Maybe you’ve been feeling down for a long time, or find it difficult to tune out the worried thoughts. Perhaps you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, flooded with painful emotions, and don’t know how to cope in a healthy way. Sometimes the world can feel scary and unmanageable, and I look forward to helping you feel more empowered and resilient. I work with adults and have special expertise working with college students and young adults. I also support those exploring gender identity and trans/gender expansive folks on their transition process.
I am a nerdy, trans & queer-competent psychologist who specializes in using evidence-based therapy to help you overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, or other issues holding you back from living your best life. I can provide letters of support for those seeking gender-affirming medical care.
Whether you are thinking of beginning therapy for the first time or are returning, taking the first step can feel tough. If you are ready to start moving forward, please feel free to visit my website for more information to see if I'm the right therapist for you. I offer a free, 15-minute consultation to see if I'll be a good fit for what you're looking for.
