I have crafted a career working with Transgender and Gender Diverse individuals, recognizing their unique challenges, providing specialized care that validates their identities, and receiving specialty training and support through WPATH. Additionally, my expertise extends to working with Autistic and Neurodivergent individuals, building an accommodating environment to optimize therapeutic outcomes and enhance a sense of identity. I have a particular focus on addressing Racial Stress and Trauma, ensuring culturally competent care. We all have unique perspectives and strengths that can be cultivated to overcome any challenge.
My extensive clinical experience includes the successful treatment of individuals grappling with Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, OCD-spectrum, and PTSD. I enjoy helping clients develop effective coping strategies, build resilience, and achieve lasting recovery.
As an empathetic therapist, I am dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive space for all clients. I am excited to be a source of joy, as well as empowerment and personal growth. I’d be happy to help you with any challenge that you are facing.
