About My Clients

As a gender-affirming therapist, many of my clients are on some type of journey of self-discovery, and I also see cisgender folks working on conquering their anxiety, fear, depression, past and current trauma, parenting and caregiving stressors, as well as managing health concerns. I love working with teens (my snark game is on point), adults, couples, and families supporting their youth in transitioning. I love the work that I get to do, and I hope that shows through to the folks I serve.

My Background and Approach

I earned my Master of Education at the College of William and Mary (Go Tribe!), focusing on Marriage and Family Therapy, and have training in LGBTQ issues, trauma and resilience, family therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and am also a Nationally Certified Counselor through NBCC. This gives me well-rounded experience in working with a variety of folks, but doesn't make me an expert on YOU! I am so honored to work with trans, NB, and gender-diverse folks, and pride myself on volunteering with various trans and LGBQ organizations in the community. This also helps me link clients to various resources so you don't feel alone in what it is that you're going through. I also practice holistically, meaning that I look at you as an entire person, because that's what you are, right? I will learn about your history, medical issues, goals, and triumphs in order to best serve you, leaving medication referral as a later, but viable opportunity to heal yourself.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Much of my life experience comes from being an oldest child, a sibling to a special needs person, a family member and friend of members of the LGBTQ community, a former Catholic, and an environmental steward. Now being a parent, I want to help create more love, empathy, and respect of the people in the world, and the environment we inhabit. I have cats, love music and was raised on a farm, so I'm a little bit country, and a lotta bit rock and roll, and I might drop an F bomb or 3. I believe that Black and Trans Lives Matter, and as an ally, I hope my work can help others fulfill their desired lives. Life's too short to wait!
