My experience with clients include those who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, postpartum, and life challenges. As one takes the step to come to therapy, it is important to work together to focus on what concerns they may have, where they would like to be, and how to get there. As a therapist, I will work to help give you, the client, the tools needed to meet these goals. Through talk therapy, we work through different techniques and challenges to find what works best for you. Everyone is different - including clients. What works best for you is the direction we go in.

I believe that therapy is for everyone! So often we minimize our struggles by comparing them to those faced by others when we all deserve the opportunity to work through our challenges so we can live the best version of our own lives. I work hard to provide a safe, judgement free atmosphere that promotes healing and personal growth. Life is unpredictable and having someone to help us rise though the hard parts can make all the difference in achieving the wellness we desire.

Imagine being able to talk to someone about anything without judgement or being told what to do. Visualize that person being a neutral sounding board where you can untangle your thoughts and feelings through difficult and stressful times. Having professional therapeutic support when dealing with anxiety and depression can make such a difference from feeling hopeless and defeated. Working with a professional such as myself can be a rewarding and empowering experience.

Throughout life’s journey, we may find ourselves feeling lost, unsure of where to start of where to go. We realize that past experiences have shaped our worldview, and how we relate to and connect with others. We may recognize that there are patterns within our family system that we want to break, but aren’t sure how. When we have experienced trauma, we may find it easier to leave it in the past; however, these experiences can change how we think and feel about ourselves and our surroundings. Through therapy, we can learn new skills to strengthen our relationships and establish secure attachment patterns.

It can be scary to be honest with oneself, let alone with others. Yet, most of us still desire to be seen, loved, and accepted. I work with people curious about how their childhood, cultural background(s), identities, and trauma influence how they relate to themselves, family, lovers, friends, and authority figures. My work centers on anti-racism and the lived experiences of folks who are Queer, Transgender, Polyamourous, or Kinky. I enjoy working with people outside of these identities as well. Modalities I utilize are Relationship Analysis, EMDR, Parts Work, Psychodynamic Techniques, and Sex Therapy.

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.
