You can derive value from therapy for a lot of reasons such as personal growth, coming to new insights, or improving communication skills and relationships, etc. However, good treatment for anxiety is not insight-based. Many forms of anxiety do not respond to traditional talk therapy. Making progress often requires specialized, structured treatments that have been specifically developed for anxiety disorders.

I am a Certified World Professional Association for Transgender Health Care (WPATH) GEI SOC7 Member. I have extensive training, research, and clinical experience working with transgender and gender diverse youth, adults, and families. Transgender clients and family members seeking assessment or counseling services can expect a safe space, and respectful, non-pathologizing, collaborative care.

Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings (that might be impossible), I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender and sexuality.
