You never imagined starting a family would be this way. You're overwhelmed, tired, and the loneliness is unbearable. Pregnancy, miscarriage, and becoming a new parent can leave you (or your partner) feeling depressed, anxious, and hopeless.

I'm here to help and give you the tools you need to survive.

I’ve spent most of my 30+ years in private practice working with clients on issues related to gender identity. Until recently, transitioning was strictly thought of in binary terms: Male-to-Female (MtF), Female-to-Male (FtM). Today, thankfully, we have evolved to include gender non-binary models. Maybe, you identify as “trans,” “non-binary,” or some other term denoting gender variance. Or, perhaps, you’re the parent of a child that identifies this way. Putting labels aside, for the moment, the journey can be challenging and self-acceptance is key. We all long to be loved, but the love must come from within, too.

Have you been traumatized as a child? Do those emotionally painful experiences affect you as an adult? Do you push intense feelings/memories away to avoid pain?

I’m passionate about working with individuals who had difficult childhoods. I offer my warmth, curiosity, compassion and active presence in providing a safe space where we can access and explore deep-rooted hurtful experiences. This process can help you to heal from emotional pain, feel alive and have authentic relationships.

You’ve finally made it in your career but the hurdles to get there have felt endless.

As a BIPOC therapist I know what it’s like to navigate this experience and how effective it feels when you can dive right in with a mental health professional who just gets it.

I view therapy as a process of exploring what is working, what is not working and what changes can occur to create the life you envision for yourself.

Clients become actively involved in their therapeutic work and together we develop solutions to achieve stated goals.
