About

As a therapist, I base the foundation of my practice on the notion that you are the expert on your own life, and it is my privilege to be invited into your world to be an extra pair of eyes to help you navigate it. I see therapy as an inherently collaborative process, where we explore the ways in which various coping strategies have served you throughout your life, reinforce the strategies that are helpful, and work together to develop and practice new coping strategies for the future. As a transgender woman, I specialize in gender-affirming and LGBTQIA2S+ affirming therapy and utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help transform and lessen the negative self-perceptions and shame that often arise when one's identity doesn't fit inside of society's norms.
