I help adults on the autism spectrum—including those diagnosed in adulthood, those formerly identified with Asperger’s, and those who strongly suspect they may be neurodivergent—gain greater self-awareness and emotional insight, explore who they are without the ‘mask,’ and find deeper meaning in their lives. Many autistic clients struggle with social relationships, feeling misunderstood, the fatigue of camouflaging, and symptoms of depression and anxiety. They want relationships to feel easier and less confusing, make sense of their emotions, reduce autistic burnout, ‘mask’ less, and be their authentic self.

I completed specialized training at WPATH to serve transgender and non-binary clients.
If you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community or a millennial/Gen Z woman, you might know what it’s like to carry trauma while still trying to hold everything together. On the outside you look like you're doing fine, but inside anxiety and self-doubt tell a different story. You need an opportunity to let go of trauma's heavy weight, an advocate as you transition or live true to yourself, & a therapist who knows what it’s like to be a queer woman in today’s world.
I specialize in helping clients who are tired of surviving in silence and ready to start healing.

Transgender Therapists
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.
