Great to meet you!

Hello out there to my LGBTQIA+ family! I've been working with the full rainbow of people since I opened my practice in 2015! I particularly love working with Trans & Gender Expansive folx! I do my best work with people who are experiecing depression, anxiety, trauma, gender dysphoria, coming out, and a desire to live authentically. My in-office practice is based at the Rose Dynasty Center, the LGBTQIA+ center in Lakeland, Florida!

My approach to therapy

I'm all about positive change through therapy! Just "venting" for session after session is only effective short-term because it just allows you to relieve a little pressure that inevitably builds back up again. If you come to therapy ready to discover & work on the root of your challenges, then we can help you get some lasting results & build skills you can carry with you through the rest of your life! It can sound scary to think about "work" in therapy, but I believe in you...You CAN do this!

What you can expect from me

Skills for relating to your thoughts in a healthy and balanced way, effective new behaviors and skills to get you through hard times, and much more self-love and empowerment!
