About My Clients

I have a passion for working with the LGBTQIA+ community. I am happy to work with people at all stages of their sexuality and gender identity development including adolescents facing gender/sexual identity questions and individuals seeking medical transition. Much of my training is centered around managing symptoms resulting from trauma and guiding clients through healing. I also have extensive experience and knowledge in the area of chronic medical issues and disability.

My Background and Approach

I received my MA from Lesley University in 2003. My education at Lesley provided me with an excellent mix of knowledge from the worlds of traditional psychotherapy, expressive therapy and holistic therapy. I especially value that all my instructors directly addressed the impact of privilege and systemic oppression on mental health rather than treating mental illness as a purely individual phenomenon.
