About me
I have focused my career on providing the best possible care and work with each client to develop a unique plan for how to effectively impact and improve their daily lives and feel more confident with who they are.
I have worked with many clients to navigate the twists and turns of individual identity discovery and development and have provided an affirming and supportive environment that allows clients the freedom to explore many difficult topics without fear of being judged or criticized. For many individuals and families navigating gender identity can be unfamiliar and uncomfortable and validating and exploring the feelings that arise and wading through the mountains of information on treatment options to develop realistic expectations and create a more supportive environment are primary goals.
If you are looking for a comfortable, accepting, and affirming environment to foster exploration of some of the barriers preventing you from realizing your full potential and you want to be free of destructive self-talk and self-sabotaging behaviors, then I can help you develop a more positive outlook and a plan to build self-confidence and self-acceptance
