I help motivated, resilient people explore their gender identity and feel confident in expressing their true selves to the world. The people I get to see in my virtual practice are questioning, exploring, and unlearning as they contemplate the reality that their gender identity doesn't match what society tells them it's "supposed to be". This nagging, persistent feeling won't go away, and various internet searches have given them some beginning sense of what they’re experiencing. Thankfully, with therapy, they find acceptance, hope, and clarity as we map out a direction for living life authentically.

Embrace your lived experiences is definitely my motto! I am also a strong advocate that there is enormous strength that emerges from having empowering relationships in your life. Us analyzing, navigating, and finding these relationships will allow you to live a life with increased connection and vibrance. Hopefully, your relationship with your therapist will be one of these empowering relationships. I approach sessions from holistic, psychodynamic, and harm-reduction perspectives. I aim to be anti-racist, feminist, trans-accepting, sober questioning, and understanding of those who are voice hearers. In sum, all are welcome here!

We offer every client the opportunity to develop their sense of self-worth, build a greater alignment with their true identity, and move them toward finding purpose and meaning in their own lives. We believe that every person, no matter their mental health condition, feels contented when they have begun their wellness journey; with help from their therapeutic provider, and is learning to live in gratitude, forgiveness, empathy, compassion, and acceptance. Although this goal may seem lofty, we have never met any person who could not find their way to these ideals, and through them learn to manage their overall depression and anxiety.

Life sometimes presents us with challenges. Whether it is a transition or a major life event, the reality is that sometimes our ability to cope with the current challenges becomes compromised and we lose our balance. Maybe you are currently feeling worried, sad and hopeless. You are beginning to wonder “when will this feeling go away?” and “will I be able to become the person I was before this happened?” If this scenario sounds familiar to you, chances are that you are struggling with depression. Please know you are not alone, nor have to go through this alone.
