About My Clients

My clients come for a therapeutic space that celebrates queer and trans identities. They may be looking for support with living authentically, exploring imposter syndrome, gender dysphoria or taking steps towards social/medical transitions. Every client's journey is unique. I also work with parents through both general parenting challenges and those specifically related to raising trans and queer kids.

My Background and Approach

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! I like 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! I'm an ATR-BC, which is nationally recognized and the highest qualification in Art Therapy. I'm licensed in New York (LCAT) and Vermont (LCMHC). I have years of clinical experience serving diverse populations. I am trauma informed, trans affirming and apply a cultural humility lens to my practice.
