Clients I work best with: I work with adolescents and adults within the LGBTQ+ community and offer supportive therapy for navigating gender identity or sexuality.
In his own words:
Are you a member of the LGBTQI+ community, and looking for a therapist that “just gets it?” Have you been feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges, a transition, family or relationship difficulties, or hoping to better manage stress and anxiety? As a queer and trans person of color, I am passionate about collective liberation and providing affirming and empowering care to the LGBTQ+ community, especially those who are trans or gender diverse.
My big three therapeutic focus areas include:
- Gender Identity: I know that finding a gender-affirming therapist who is knowledgeable about some of the shared experiences a trans person may go through might feel limited, perhaps even impossible. As a trans and queer clinician myself, I also recognize that navigating the complexities and nuances of gender may feel confusing or overwhelming, as well as exciting and liberating! I can also appreciate that finding a community to explore your gender identity and gender expression can be challenging. Together, we will work on your individual needs and goals as you navigate your gender identity.
- Stress and Anxiety: Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck? Perhaps you feel nervous or tense, or maybe the world feels like it is against you, and there is no way out. In our sessions, we will work as a team to work through areas of stress in your life, cultivate new coping skills, and work to ultimately decrease the levels of stress or anxiety you may be experiencing.
- Life transitions: Change can be both exciting and scary! Even good changes, such as a move, attending a new school, a new job, or beginning hormone affirming therapy, can bring about feelings of anxiety, fear, and worry. Transitions can also be challenging, particularly when unfamiliar or stressful. I am here to work with you through whatever you are going through and empower you in this season of transition in your life.
