I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (she/her) with over 40 years experience in a variety of mental health settings. Working with people who have anxiety, depression and who experience dysphoria, is the foundation of my current practice. Some people engage in co-dependent dynamics, some are looking for gender affirming care, some have experienced trauma and find that symptoms of anxiety and depression are affecting their lives in a negative way. I am certified in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in conjunction with the Center for Traumatic Stress in Children and Adolescents and I am a member of many professional organizations.
Working with adults from all walks of life, I also offer gender affirming care for individuals who identify with the LGBTQIA+ communities. I am certified by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health in Standards of Care, Version 8 and provide support for gender affirming medical and surgical procedures.
Regardless of your orientation, my goal is to work with you to discover the foundation issues that are contributing to distress in daily functioning and to develop strategies to live a more enriched and authentic life.
