About My Clients
I work with people who are at a crossroads with their identities and life's changes and challenges. That can show up as: - exploration/ affirmation of gender, sexual & romantic orientation, & relationship type - parenting, family challenges, & life transitions (yours or your loved one’s) - moving on from trauma, grief, & loss - relationship difficulties - burnout & executive functioning - sadness, anxiety, numbness - difficulty sleeping & eating well - unhealthy coping habits
My Background and Approach
As a neurodivergent and queer/ transmasculine person, I know firsthand the incredible opportunities for growth and, of course, the many challenges we face on journeys of identity exploration and affirmation. While I'm currently focused on helping the queer and neurodivergent communities, I have nearly 15 years of professional experience working with youth, families, and adults from ALL walks of life. I know firsthand that developing a full, happy, healthy, connected life requires plenty of support - we'll focus on setting step-by-step goals, building upon your skills and strengths, and strengthening your relationships. My professional background is in trauma, crisis stabilization, and family work for young people (11-26) and their families as well as gender-affirming care for youth and adults. This experience makes for a warm, collaborative, and individualized approach - very little shocks or shakes me!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Beyond my professional training and values as a social worker, my lived experiences as a queer & neurodivergent person, a client, a clinician, and a clinical leader have taught me the incredible comfort and value of having a therapist that just “gets it” - and how frustrating, invalidating, and isolating it can feel when they don’t. My passion for advocacy and action in service of increased queer representation and access to informed and affirming care for those in the LGBTQIA+ community and anyone else who finds themselves marginalized by systems that were built by and for the heteronormative and neurotypical majority is now the heart of Transformation Clinical Services. Our values are: Authenticity, Autonomy, Collaboration, Courage, Effectiveness & Equity. In therapy with me, you can expect treatment that is always: intersectional, queer- and gender-affirming, poly/ ENM-affirming, body-positive, trauma-informed, results-driven, and strengths-based.
