I work with the transgender and gender expansive community and members of the LGBTQ community.
Are you struggling with coming out, exploring your gender identity, religious trauma, are autistic, have ADHD or are just looking for someone that "gets" you. Really "gets" you or your child. LGBTQ, Transgender and gender expansive clients are my specialty and I have been working with this community for over a decade. As a queer person myself, I understand the struggle of coming out or finding your own place in the world. I enjoy working with people from 6th graders to adults who want to have the courage to be who they are. It is okay to need help and I know you are the authority on your own gender identity.

I specialize in providing LGBTQ+ affirming therapy, as well as compassionate care for members the transgender or gender nonconforming community.
It takes courage to reach out to others, especially when you’re not sure where to turn. This can be especially true if in the past, it's felt unsafe to be your authentic self. That’s why it’s a priority for me to help you feel welcomed and safe from the start of our journey together. I want to help you through the challenges you face. I will work to get to know you, your relationship(s), or your family in order to help you reach your goals. I also believe your access to services is important - I exclusively offer telehealth appointments for your convenience.

I also have a passion for topics concerning sexuality and gender, including Gender Dysphoria, Sexual Health, and other forms of identity work.
Isn’t the process of finding a therapist on Psychology Today a daunting one? I find this to be especially true if you are a part of a group that often feels shame when seeking help, such as Queer people, polyamorous folks, people diagnosed with HIV, or individuals who’ve been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. All of these folks can find a home at Berkana Collective, where we can help find you a sense of comfort and acceptance, but also attain the change you need to accomplish the goals you have for yourself, like healthier emotions, stronger relationships, and more.

With over 25 years in the mental health field and 13 years in private practice, I offer a multitude of personal and professional experience. Much of our suffering is due to dissatisfaction in relationships. Sadly, many relationships end prematurely when we are most hurt and emotionally vulnerable. However, this is the time when the very intimacy we were lacking prior has the potential to finally break through. I give you tools and insight to heal old wounds that are holding you back from experiencing the love you seek within yourself and others. Together we address the intrapsychic conflicts and longings of the soul.

Being part of the LGBTQIA or Poly community in the South can be BEYOND isolating. You feel pressured to hide your identity, struggling to find acceptance from your friends and family, all while trying to navigate the coming out process or transition. You feel stuck. Unsure of your identity. Tired of questioning. Uncomfortable in the skin you're in. You just want to feel like yourself and be able to go out with your partner(s) without the constant nagging fears and insecurities.

Have you ever looked in the mirror, saw the person staring back at you and realized that you don't know what that person is? Or that you just don't like them? Have you ever felt like you were living in a body that wasn't yours? Have you felt the anxiety that comes from being in a public space, unsure of how others will perceive you or if you are even safe, or the hopeless fear that you might never be truly happy with yourself? Finding a safe space and an affirming therapist to talk about and process these feelings with can be extremely difficult. I'm proud of you for taking that first step and hopeful that I can help.

Society can be overflowing with expectations, guilt, and shame…but it doesn’t have to.

Imagine a space where you are free from judgment and encouraged to explore your sexual, spiritual, and physical experience, to deconstruct toxic messages about your existence, and to find genuine fulfillment in your life.

I work with individuals, couples/co-parents, and families. I see children in play therapy from three years old and up as well as adolescents. I work with many families going through the difficult family transition of separation/divorce/remarriage/grief. I enjoy working with couples and utilizing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to remind couples to acknowledge, appreciate and respect their differences. I found the MBTI to be especially beneficial to couples considering marriage or long-term commitments.

Are you looking to make meaningful, permanent changes in your life with things that matter: Developing deep, trusting relationships, overcoming self-defeating patterns and past trauma, finding meaning in your life? In my practice I focus on creating deep insight and long-lasting change. My method - psychodynamic therapy - typically lasts between 6 months to 2 years. It is a complex, time-proven treatment method that makes profound, enduring change in your life. Studies show that psychodynamic therapy is not only as effective as other therapies, but that unlike other therapies, you continue to improve, even years after therapy ends.

As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
