My style is heavily collaborative with my clients, and I work hard to ensure clients feel comfortable and heard regardless of identity or background. I make continual efforts to stay educated, and my passion lies with underserved populations in need of safe places to seek counseling. Sessions are goal-oriented, strengths-based, and my role more like a Virgil to a client's Dante; I intend to serve as a gentle and informed companion on a client's personal journey. I'm a LCSW and an out trans person specializing in trauma and LGBT-issues, particularly transgender. I also help with ADHD, OCD, anxiety, grief, interpersonal and sexual violence, abuse, and relationship issues. My primary modalities are Solution-Focused/Strengths-Based, CBT, motivational interviewing, and DBT. Also intermediate level SE. For transgender clients, my personal background offers a uniquely informed space, and I also work with loved ones of trans and LGB+ people.
