About My Clients

I specialize in working with LGBTQ adults to address needs specific to our community, especially those of transgender experience. Further, I myself am an individual who has detransitioned and I extend services to those who have as well. I understand what it's like to go through transition and go back, and I want to ensure my clients get thorough care, transitioning or detransitioning. Of course, I work with people who are inside and outside the LGBTQ community, I'm an advocate for you.

My Background and Approach

Solution Focused Brief Treatment Let's start our sessions with, "what do you hope to gain from coming here?" I want to instill a sense of hope and motivation for change in my clients. Questions that challenge thought processes and invoke thoughts of change are incredibly powerful, hope and positivity are powerful. You will realize how powerful and capable you are. I believe when you come to me you are inherently motivated and are up to the challenge of healing. I will work hard with you to help you, you are not alone. Together, we focus on the present and future to promote personal healing and unique, self-discovered solutions that make sense to you. This is about the respect of yourself, as well as your own, individual humanity. Gender-affirming therapy I explore my client's feelings about their gender with them in an open, caring environment that seeks understanding and helping the client to discover who they are.
