About me
I am an experienced psychotherapist who specializes in helping adults cope with trauma, gender. and sexual identity.
I have 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist and opened my private practice in May 2020. I have worked with children, families, couples, and individuals. I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community on issues related to trauma, reducing shame, and enhancing self-worth and self-acceptance. I provide a safe and compassionate environment where you are the expert on your own experiences. I look forward to working with you!
