About Me

I feel compelled to do this work as I reflect on what I needed as a child, adolescent, and young adult. Without adequate representation in the media and everyday life it was hard for me to conceptualize what it meant to be trans.

In college I encountered trans folks that openly shared their experiences, which modeled to me the self compassion needed to come out and transition. Having lacked the support from my family, my community became my lifeline and that is why I do what I do now.

Why I Became A Therapist

As a young trans kiddo I never had the words to express what I was feeling. As a teen I became angry and depressed after years of being misunderstood. In college I finally met other trans people like myself and it gave me the power and courage to come out. My coming out process was not easy, and I found solace in my community. In many ways my community supported me when family could not. Which is why I do what I do now. I want to help others that have experienced the same things I have. This world can be so hard for trans folks, especially if youre a person of color, neurodivergent, disabled and so many other compounding identities. But our community is powerful, and I want to be a strong voice in my community to remind folks of this.

How I Work

What to Expect (first 1–2 sessions)

Therapy is all about relationship. In our first couple sessions my goal is to create a space where you can show up authentically and say the things that have been on your mind, to identify some directions youd like to move in.

Tuning into the body for information and regulation
Talking about themes, and turning the unconscious into the conscious
Building a partnership in therapy to identify goals and direction
Recognizing trauma in its various forms, and learning what to do about it
