I am passionate about providing gender & neurodivergent affirming care to individuals who are trans, non-binary, gender-expansive, gender-questioning & queer. My priority is to create a safe and supportive space to help you heal from past wounds and find a path toward embodying your most authentic self. My work aims to dismantle white supremacy, capitalism & ableism & help you unlearn harmful internalized beliefs instilled by these systems of oppression. I guide you in learning to care for your unique wellbeing in order to live with less suffering & more freedom. I believe in and hold space for each person's potential to heal & grow
With my warm and empathetic approach, I prioritize listening and attending to the needs of your whole self-body, spirit, and mind-with the goal of restoring a deeper connection to yourself. My integrated approach is tailored to your needs, as I draw from many modalities including body-based, mindfulness-based, parts work models as well as CBT and DBT.
Reaching out for therapy for the first time can be difficult! Congrats on making this first step toward taking care of yourself and getting support. Call or email me to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation. I also offer the service of consultation for gender affirming care for other clinicians.
