Clients I Work With

If you're looking for a queer/gender affirming therapist to work with as you explore living authentically, minority stress, gender dysphoria, imposter syndrome, or need support with social/medical transitions you've landed in the right place. Welcome! Let me pause to remind clients that the above noted challenges are not problems or shortcomings of any individual. Rather they are symptoms of living in a culture and society steeped in oppressive and binary focused views. As a trans competent and trauma informed therapist we will work together to find the tools that best serve you in living your most joyful and authentic life!

Approach

My client-led approach includes the creative arts. Providing a creative space to process grief and trauma unlocks pathways to healing and skill building that traditional talk therapy can miss. With a strong therapeutic alliance, a safe environment to feel seen and heard, and a commitment to addressing challenges head on, true and lasting growth is yours!

Beliefs & Lived Experience

My commitments to culturally sensitive and social justice minded frameworks are woven into my practice. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are core values here. As a therapist who carries my own marginalized identity I strive to show up with cultural humility, curiosity and genuine validation for exactly who my clients are and where they are in their journey.
