As a queer transwoman, I have personally experienced the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ communities. I am passionate about serving our communities, helping each of us find our most authentic selves, and meeting the challenges we face, together. I want to give you a safe and affirming space where you can feel comfortable exploring who you are and never have to explain yourself or feel judged.

I approach therapy from an individualized perspective because each of us is a unique blend of our experiences, and so “cookie-cutter” approaches just don’t work.  Together, we can explore strategies and approaches that work for you.  I work with LGBTQIA+ individuals from an affirmative and supportive framework that allows for greater self-understanding and self-acceptance of affectional orientation, gender identity, and expression. I provide letters of support for gender-affirming care and will work to help you find authenticity, whatever that means for you.

I am a transgender counseling specialist who has experience with and has completed significant training in approaches that are focused on meeting the needs of our community. Whether you’re simply wondering whether the cis-normative perspective of gender just isn’t for you or if you are ready to explore what a more authentic gender expression would be, I want to help you find the right path.

It is a very scary time for us right now. Our existence is threatened by ill-informed and malicious individuals who think they know what is best for us and who we really are. Mockingbird Counseling will always be a place where you can feel safe being yourself. I believe that everyone deserves to find and experience authenticity. In this world of fear, hatred, and discrimination, I want to give you the space to work on the challenges you face openly and honestly. No matter the challenges you face, I want to help you find the life and the happiness you deserve!
