As a therapist, my goal is to create a space where you can feel safe to explore your identity, process your emotions, and make progress on your unique goals. I will work to build a therapeutic relationship based on empathy and honesty, where you can be seen as a whole person. I have experience working with clients going through life transitions, anxiety, and depression and I have a firm belief that everyone has something to gain through therapy. I also focus on working with LGBTQ+ clients, and I believe that a shared identity can be extremely beneficial when working with a therapist. I became a therapist after a career in education, motivated by the idea that I could be the type of provider I myself was hoping to find. As a transgender woman, I bring a unique experience and perspective into the room, and as a former educator and historian, I have a deep understanding of the structures and conflicts that shape our society and lives. I am a licensed social worker being supervised by Perez Therapy. If you’re interested in starting your therapy journey with me, I am excited to connect and answer any questions you might have
