Personal Statement
When life seems hopeless, when emotions become overwhelming, when confusion, fear, and sadness envelop your life, you need someone knowledgeable and caring to listen to your concerns. I have over 20 years’ experience practicing therapy, and I know that hope exists. Let me encourage you to live a more fulfilling life together with your loved ones and in the happiness of your own skin.
I specialize in transgender issues, striving to protect people from the pain of discrimination, rejection, and shame. I can help you work through your thoughts and emotions about LGBTQIA issues, as well as provide referrals for hormone therapy and support after GRS.
I also provide therapeutic services to individuals (ages 6 and older), couples, and families regarding parenting issues, relationship conflicts, sex therapy, self-esteem, sexual abuse, child and adolescent issues, and more. I offer treatments for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), grief, anger management, emotional disturbance, and more. I have a passion for helping people who struggle with the emotional and psychical impact of HIV/AIDS, at various stages of the illness.
