Your Therapy Experience
You want to build a relationship with a therapist that is trusting and long-lasting, someone you can return to whenever life brings a new challenge. You want someone on your team to help you reach your goals. For therapy to work best, you need to be able to freely express yourself and to feel seen and understood. You and your therapist should like each other as people and value one another's identities. Fifteen years of experience with a range of ages, as well as ongoing study and training, prepares me to work with you. My clients say they enjoy laughing with me and that I can be direct in a way that is easy to handle.
I work collaboratively with each person to determine the best therapy approach to assist them in reaching their goals. I aim to facilitate healing from cultural damage and the effects of various forms of oppression. As a psychotherapist, my goal is that my clients reach a place of hope and fulfillment.
My Practice
My specialty is in working with transgender people from childhood through adulthood. In addition I work with people who fall somewhere along the LGBTQ+ spectrum and those who are addressing cultural trauma or gaining deeper understanding of their mixed racial roots and identity. I provide psychotherapy and consulting services in the Baltimore/DC area and have clients from around the state of Maryland. Video therapy sessions or clinical consultation may be an option for people in MD from outside the Baltimore area. If you are in NC and need a letter for surgery, or wish to consult, I’m available for that service too as I hold a clinical license in NC as well as MD.
I'm happy to talk with you for free for 10 minutes to learn about your needs and whether I might be the best person to help.
