Introduction

We all are in relationships with others, and these relationships affect and change who we are. I look forward to exploring these relationships, past and present, and how they have shaped you. I believe therapy is about being heard and telling your story— and I am here to listen and witness that story. My way of working therapeutically is based on understanding your relationship to others and how it impacts your own view of yourself. I use a reflective and insight based approach to therapy and I pay close attention to the relationship between the therapist and client. I specialize in working with children who identify as trans and gender non-conforming.
