Transgender Therapists in Fort Collins, CO

Hi there! I am trans-masculine and a Licensed Professional Counselor. My passion is helping adults, teens and children to heal trauma, depression, anxiety, and improve life. My clients are often transgender or have another LGBTQIA+ identity. I provide a welcoming, safe, affirming place to do the hard work so that they can live a more authentic life, have better relationships, heal trauma, and deal with stress better.

If you are feeling anxious or depressed about transitions in your life such as grief, or gender expression. I am here to help. I specialize in transgender issues and grief and loss. I will assist you in finding a way through the seemingly endless fog of choices and questions you may have. By helping you set goals and step-by-step move through what you are experiencing to aid you in achieving your most authentic self and healing. Regardless of where you are starting in your process.

Hello, and welcome! Are you finding life's challenges pretty overwhelming at times? I've been there, and I understand. I can help you explore those challenges and find the best way for you to address them. Are you at a crossroads in your journey, feeling that there must be more in life for you to experience? I've been helping clients with these and other concerns for over 35 years. I can help with anxiety, depression, gender and sexuality issues, health concerns, and grief and loss. Your sessions with me will be at least a full 60 minutes; I just don't believe in the "50 minute hour!" My education and experience as a registered nurse and psychotherapist allows me to provide you with an integrated and holistic approach to whatever you are experiencing in your life. Our emotions and mental status are always intertwined with our physical health and need to be approached as a whole. I also believe that we are more than our mind/body selves. There are aspects to our lives that cannot be explained by traditional studies, and these need to be acknowledged, too.

Discovering and disclosing your identity can be anxiety provoking. I partner with folks to navigate this journey including LGBTQIA+, Transgender , Faith Transitions, and Ex Mormon communities. Perhaps you've had questions about your identity your entire life that you've kept in the back of your mind. Or maybe some article or video just sparked something for you now. Not feeling trans enough? Can't wait to transition? It can feel daunting task to contemplate coming out. It can feel even more rewarding to live in a way that feels free and happy. I can't wait to see you happy and at peace.

I view therapy as a place to safely tell your story. Each story is unique and is comprised of its own set of characters and settings. It is my privilege to explore your narrative and to bare witness to the obstacles of the past, the trials of today, and the triumphs of tomorrow. I also hope to join you in your attempt to write each new exciting chapter of your life. Together we can work to create a story that you are proud to call your own!

You’re struggling with past painful experiences impacting your current relationships & preventing you from living life on your terms. Past therapists with traditional, rigid & impersonal approaches were not helpful for you; leaving you feeling that nothing will ever help or change. I believe healing is possible & therapy incorporating an understanding of oppressive systems we navigate can provide a space to heal. Challenging internal messaging rooted in trauma & systems of oppression can help turn off the auto-pilot or get off the merry-go-round to live a life of meaningful choice, authenticity, connection, belonging & joy.

Are you successful in your life, but feel like there is something that is holding you back from being the person that you want to be? Do you work in a high profile or high pressure job and worry about finding a counselor that can hold your intensity and face the darkness you want to heal from? Are you a member of the queer community who would love a counselor who understands the culture and would be honored to walk beside you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I would love for you to contact me so we can meet and see if we may be the best fit for the experience that awaits you. I am excited to meet you.

Welcome! Thanks for checking out my profile. I have to be honest, I really don’t like writing these “therapist intros” because they always sound cheesy but, here is my best effort. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor in Colorado. I specialize in providing individual counseling services to young adults, adolescents and members of the LGBTQ+ communities. I have experience providing services for a variety of concerns including trauma, addiction, and relationships. My approach is person centered and based on the individual. I look forward to meeting you and learning more about your unique story

You may be looking for a therapist for a variety of reasons and finding one that is a good fit is very important part of that process. Being comfortable in therapy and finding someone who can provide support, while directly addressing concerns and promoting growth is essential. I provide my clients with a supportive and enriching environment to address concerns, gain insights, and achieve real change in their life and the lives of those around them.

Sometimes the state of our world can feel so scary and heartbreaking that we feel immobilized. Much of our potential is blocked by feeling overwhelmed by the day to day challenge of struggling to advocate for ourselves in our communities, the world, even in our own thoughts and beliefs! It is easy to feel anxious, alone and simultaneously at war with ourselves. I emphasize serving individuals that experience marginalized identities and see myself as your co-conspirator. I work with issues of identity and non-normative experiences, in the context of gender, sexuality as well as queer experience beyond that framework

NEW CLIENTS ACCEPTED!! No matter where you're at in life, there can be a lot of challenges that increase or cause distress. From having difficulty communicating with family members to struggling with adapting to life's changes. From challenges in developing healthy peer relationships to dealing with conflict within your support group. We are all dealing with so many changes in our lives, it can become overwhelming without someone who can be non-judgmental, unbiased, and able to provide unconditional acceptance to help navigate those changes. Our practice specializes in adolescent/young adults as well as adults!

Are you serious about creating change in your life? Let me be a support to your goals! My integrative approach provides a client-centered and supportive environment where my clients learn skills, process trauma, and create change. My work draws from numerous psychological and counseling theories including: existential-humanistic theory, psychodynamic theories and practice, object-relations, systems theories, DBT and CBT. My approach to counseling and psychotherapy is a collaborative process. To make the changes you desire, we will work together as a team and I will encourage you to give me feedback about our work together.

No matter where you're at in your journey, if you're motivated to heal from past trauma, I'm here to help. You deserve to live your life authentically, fully present, and to give yourself the love you always needed. I'm a LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent identified clinician, focusing on anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions with members of my communities. We'll build coping skills catered to your needs, nervous system, and neurotype. Together, we can release old pain so you can step into the life you want.

Hey There! I believe that every thought, emotion, and behavior that a person entertains is actively shaping their current reality. I view our therapeutic relationship as a partnership. You & I will define your intentions for therapy and create active goals to shift patterns. I have always had a strong calling to support others. I believe that people can learn to accept, love, and claim authenticity by moving away from patterns that are no longer serving the individual, by actively exploring their unique interests & evolving needs. I respect and acknowledge all relationship styles & sexual identities. My goal is to hold space.
