Post-pandemic life is certainly a new normal. I notice many people are having trouble adjusting to the changes, and cannot quite return to the life they used to know. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I am happy to help you connect to your self, improve your functioning, determine your next moves, and move past any fears or insecurities that are holding you back. I specialize in LGBTQ+ populations, trauma recovery, improving attachment issues, and overcoming depression and anxiety. My preferred modalities are EFT, CBT, ACT, IFS, and SE.

One of my biggest specializations is gender therapy. I assist people in discovering and expressing their gender identity, overcoming trauma related to living in the wrong gender, coming out, and transitioning medically and socially. I have many years' experience writing letters of recommendation for hormones and surgery and can assist you in determining which option fits your needs. I am aware of my gatekeeping role and try to maintain a collaborative exchange and empower my clients, while ascertaining that all outcomes have been considered and my clients are well-informed about gender transition.
