All sessions are HIPPA compliant, live, video or phone sessions during this time of COVID-19 to protect our health.
As an affirming provider for LGBTQ, transgender and gender expansive clients, my practice centers around supporting this community. If you want to explore your gender identity, sexuality, process religious trauma, or work through relationship stress, I can help you. If you are seeking a secular, gender affirming therapist to walk with you through your gender transition, I can walk with you. My WPATH specialization is with children and adolescents. Tweens and teens enjoy working with me. I am direct and I am real. I use mindful self-compassion, solution focused therapy and CBT that allows me to work with teenagers and adults alike.
I work with the transgender and gender expansive community and members of the LGBTQ community. I am a secular therapist who has additional training for my WPATH GEI SOC v7 certification specializing in working with children, adolescents and adults. I also write WPATH soc v7 gender affirming hormone and surgery letters although I support informed consent.
I know it's hard to find a LGBTQIA and gender affirming, secular therapist in the Southeast. I know parents come to me wanting to understand their children. I know adults need to be themselves. I can help you. I offer expert and convenient care for my clients through video throughout GA, NC, SC and FL. Call or email me for a free consultation.
