About My Clients
I work with clients age three and up. I utilize play therapy techniques, expressive arts, and, with adults, gender affirming care.
My Background and Approach
“Survival is insufficient” is my favorite quote, which comes from Emily St. John Mandel's book Station Eleven. I want to help identify and embrace how your strengths make you unique. Then you can not only survive but also fully engage in your life. I identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and I understand, personally and professionally, how difficult it can be to feel like you fit. My personal experiences as someone who has often felt "different" are a part of what led me into this field, and my education and training in evidence-based practice helps me to help you feel welcomed, affirmed, and capable of overcoming barriers. I love learning. If that means I'm reading a new book, or getting to know a new person, learning drives me. I strive to meet you where you are. Learning more about you through the course of therapy allows us to create a strong foundation for therapeutic change. We all cope more effectively when we feel stable and supported. I'm here to help provide support.
