I have extensive experience working with transgender and LGBQ+ communities and feel empowered when people of color, immigrants, refugees, people with disabilities, people of all sizes, and others marginalized by the mainstream take up space in nature.
Whether you’re a nature lover or nature avoider, love to move your body or can’t stand to break a sweat, this therapy is for you. With today’s stressors, we all need nature more than ever. Take your therapy outdoors and gain the benefits of moving your eyes off the screen, engaging your senses, and really feeling your body in nature...all while addressing your personal goals.

Much of my work is centered around gender – from issues surrounding identity exploration, to social/medical transition, to gender dysphoria , to gender-identity-related interpersonal challenges. Some of my favorite work is in helping to bridge the communication gaps between teens and their families after a teen has come out as trans/gender nonconforming! I also have experience with depression, anxiety, substance use, military families, sexuality and sexual health, emetophobia (phobia of vomit), phase-of-life challenges, uncertainty/anxiety about the future, kink/BDSM, and partner conflict/miscommunication.

I have expertise in working with individuals who are transgender and gender-expansive, as well as the greater LGBTQIA2S+ community.
Every person needs a secure space where they can become their most authentic selves. I strive to approach therapy with radical genuineness, compassion, warmth, and humor. I believe that therapy at its best is a creative, judgment-free space between equals. This creates an environment where you can be yourself and learn to manage thoughts and emotions getting in your way. I like to incorporate techniques from DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, attachment theory, body-centered approaches, sports psychology, mindfulness, body positivity, trauma-informed practices, and sometimes a dash of geek culture references.

I specialize in working with individuals from the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and non-conforming gender communities.
Real change comes from understanding why our own impulses and behaviors hold us back from experiencing our true potential and discovering the skills to create the change we seek. I believe in a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy that helps people find the answers that were inside them all along. As a therapist, I am intuitive and compassionate, yet direct, and employ a mix of modalities, including traditional psychotherapy, cognitive therapy and mindfulness techniques.

I have a special interest and experience working with transgender clients and their families.
I am currently only providing online therapy through Thera-Link a HIPPA compliant platform. As a strength based systemic family therapist, I believe in looking at the whole person not just the "issues or labels" clients are struggling with when they seek out therapy. My approach explores the emotional, physical, behavioral, relational, cultural and spiritual aspects of clients lives that interfere and/or enhance quality of life.

I served as a national trainer on sensitive transgender health care within the VA Health Care System for six years.
I provide a safe, respectful, nonjudgmental setting to explore and discover solutions to diverse challenges. A critical element of therapy is the development of a trusting relationship between the client and therapist and can impact the healing process. Healing is a unique and individual process, as such, I believe it is important to learn of the uniqueness of each client and their goals for therapy. I work with diverse populations, including LGBTQ adolescents and adults. I have been an advocate/trainer/educator on the health and well-being of LGBTQ people for over 20 years.

If you’re seeking a therapist who is trauma-conscious, anti-racist, and specialized in serving bisexual, transgender , and nonbinary people, let’s connect.
Your identities aren’t too complicated, society just needs to catch up. You're fed up with having your sexual, gender, or racial identities invalidated and devalued. You’re bombarded with feeling like you’re not enough and at the same time, you’re told that you’re too much. All this chatter makes you doubt and question what your identities mean to you. I get it. I've been there. And I'm here to help.

Every person's experience in therapy is unique. I know that my 20+ years of experience, the ongoing training I consistently pursue and the areas in which I have particular expertise are important factors to the people who come to see me. I create a safe and compassionate environment so individuals and couples can freely express their questions and needs. Beyond those critical pieces, I believe that the success of the therapy will rest on our ability to work together in an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust.
