My practice is deeply dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive, and fiercely affirming space for the LGBTQI+ community, offering compassionate support for those exploring gender identity and sexual orientation. Operating entirely via telehealth across the state of California, my goal is to meet you exactly where you are.
