About My Clients

You might feel like you know exactly who you are but have trouble expressing it, or you might feel lost and aimless. Let’s collaborate to deepen your connection with your authentic self! You know yourself, your history and circumstances best, and I have a tool box full of strategies to help you build your foundation and grow. I understand learning about yourself and loving yourself is a process that takes time, compassion, and support.

My Background and Approach

I am a Mental Health Counselor, I am trained as a Massage Therapist, and Yoga Teacher; I use my training to help people deepen their connection with their true self by integrating mind and body; through a process of grounded in affirming exploration. I specialize in working with people who are LGBTQPIA+, as well as friends, partners, family members and allies. My passion is co-creating and fostering safe(r) and explicitly affirming spaces for people who are Transgender, Nonbinary and Gender Nonconforming. I offer gender affirming services, including assessments and referral letters for folks looking for this support.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

First and foremost, I am human and that is how I relate to others. I believe how we make meaning in our life is important. I value integrity, collaboration, and authenticity. I am an out and proud Queer, Nonbinary and Transgender person. When I was a youth I was bullied and struggled with depression. A counselor was the first person to tell me that what was happening to me was not my fault and with her support I gained a sense of self worth and determination that changed my life. I know you can too. I work from a holistic and systemic lens that recognizes the intersections of who each individual is and holds space to deconstruct the kyriarchy's impact while empowering the authentic self to shine through. I believe getting in touch with our past is a powerful tool to help us move forward in a more ethically sound and meaningful way. As a white person in America I value and practice antiracism and decolonization. I am an ADHDer who strives to offer neurodiverse affirming services.
