About My Clients

Whether you or a loved one are navigating the early stages of self-discovery, seeking support during your gender journey, or addressing mental health concerns within the context of your gender identity, I'm here to assist you on your path to self-realization and well-being. I work with adults of all ages.

My Background and Approach

As a licensed clinical social worker, I bring 7 years of experience in providing affirming and culturally competent therapy. My mission is to create a therapeutic alliance that honors and validates your identity, empowering you to navigate the complexities of self-discovery and personal growth. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, person-centered and evidence-based (CBT/DBT/ACT), rooted in respect, empathy, and understanding. I'm a certified clinical trauma professional, trained in EMDR. I recognize that each person's journey is deeply personal, and I'm here to provide a non-judgmental space where you can explore, express, and embrace your authentic self. I specialize in: - Gender Identity Exploration - Transition Support (including evaluations for gender-affirming surgery) - LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy - Mental Health and Well-being

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am an "out" queer, trans, nonbinary therapist (AFAB). I'm anti-racist, and actively about fostering community and dismantling structural oppressions. I started my career as a medical social worker and have lots of experience working with people with physical health issues and their partners/families/caregivers, including people with HIV/AIDS, chronic illnesses, and end of life. I identify as neurodiverse and genuinely like people. I'm a preacher's kid raised in the US South, embrace multiple and no faiths, and have experience working with religious trauma.
