New to Grow
I’m a therapist who believes that real healing happens in a safe, authentic relationship. My work is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for your unique story. I draw from person-centered, feminist, and Internal Family Systems approaches to help you better understand yourself and the world around you. As a queer, transgender therapist, I bring both professional training and lived experience into the room, especially when working with LGBTQIA+ clients. I love helping people untangle the expectations and systems that may be holding them back so they can move toward a more authentic, fulfilling life. Therapy is meaningful work—and yes, we can laugh along the way.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is all about getting to know each other and making sure you feel comfortable. We’ll talk about what brought you in, what you’re hoping for, and any questions or concerns you have about therapy. There’s no pressure to share everything right away—we go at your pace. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported from the very beginning.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What stands out most about my approach is the balance between depth and humanity. I combine strong clinical training with authenticity, creativity, and a genuine curiosity about you. I’m especially attuned to how systems, identities, and life experiences shape who we are, and I help clients gently challenge what no longer serves them. I take the work seriously—but not myself—so our sessions can be both meaningful and refreshingly real.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are … …working through different stages and seasons in their gender journeys …questioning or understanding their sexuality …understanding substance use concerns and developing alternative coping strategies …healing from many traumatic experiences including religious, internal and external queer phobia, and emotional abuse …moving through grief and loss: death, empty nesting, divorce or relationship transitions, and aging …coping with exciting but stressful life stage transitions: starting college, moving, and career changes
Gender-affirming therapy
