As a therapist, I offer a lot of feedback while respecting your views and goals. I have no hidden agenda, what you see is what you get. My job is to empower you to find your way through stuck places and to accompany you on your path of self-discovery. I was born and raised in Europe, so it gives me the benefit of having a multi-cultural perspective on life which I believe can enrich one's exploration.

Populations that I commonly work with are the transgender and queer community, neurodivergent individuals, people who have experienced trauma, people in sobriety, and people living with OCD.
I’m here to give you what you need, be that an empathetic supporter in your corner or developing tangible tools to improve things such as emotional regulation and communication. I don’t utilize a one size fits all approach, and instead want to tailor therapy to the unique circumstances and goals of the person in front of me.

You feel anxious, might never have felt good enough, may be burned out, and fear you won’t ever get to live a life you want to be living. You are tired of trying to fix everything on your own, or don't even know where to begin. You long to feel more free, confident, secure, able to make decisions, and able to reach for your dreams or have a life you feel good in. You may even feel stuck between being true to yourself and losing or impacting those you love. You may be tired of feeling alone in this.

As your therapist I will work hard to provide you with the tools to overcome obstacles and reach your personal goals. Unlocking your potential will be our primary aim along with developing an awareness of how we create our own blocks. You will also work towards becoming more yourself as strange as that may sound! This involves getting more in touch with your own psyche, which can be an incredibly rewarding process. I am currently in training as a Jungian analyst candidate and so will be inviting you to bring dream material into sessions.

You’re at a crossroads, feeling stuck in a body that’s perpetually "on guard." Whether you’re a Veteran weary from the armor of service, a Queer adult navigating the nuances of identity discovery, or a seeker tired of the cycle of anxiety, depression and addiction, you have reached a point where the pain of staying the same is greater than the fear of changing. Maybe you’ve talked about your trauma for years, but your nervous system is still in survival mode. You aren't just looking for a listener; you are ready for a metamorphosis and a life built on your own wants, not just your needs.

Do you feel like you're always searching for the thing, the right practice, the perfect insight, the magic fix that will finally make you feel whole, real, or enough? You’ve read all the books, done all the self-help, and still feel stuck in the same patterns, disconnected from yourself and the world around you. Maybe you’re painfully aware of all your struggles, but don’t know how to move forward. The truth is, you don’t need to be fixed. Healing isn’t about doing more, working harder, or becoming someone different. It starts with BEING; slowing down, noticing your mind, body, and spirit, and meeting yourself with kind curiosity.

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.
