Allow me to join you as you take those first steps of embarking on your personal journey of healing and growth. I empower and support individuals through the use of a person-centered and strengths-based approach as they navigate life experiences. I am both a gay- and gender- affirming therapist qualified to write letters for gender-affirming care according to WPATH standards. I am also EMDR trained and often use expressive arts and humor throughout the therapy process. Counseling is not a one-size-fits all, and I tailor my approach to meet each individual’s unique and personal needs.
I meet individuals where they are in their readiness to navigate life experiences with trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, low self-esteem, and related issues. I strive to create a warm, compassionate, and empowering environment for individuals to safely share and re-author their story.
For scheduling or further inquiry, please reach out via email. It would be a privilege to walk along side you throughout your healing journey.
