My Journey as a Therapist

My practice was born out of frustration from trying to find a therapist for my non-binary family member. I realized there are simply not enough trans-affirming providers so I set out to become part of the change I wanted to see - and signed up to attend a WPATH training in 2016.

Things took an unexpected turn during quarantine, when I found I had too much time on my hands. Suddenly I started seeing connections I had missed and began doing a deep dive into the world of neurodivergence. After years of paid consultations, trainings, and research--- I uncovered some self-realizations and insights to help clients understand their brains more fully.

I firmly believe you are the expert in your own life and that I am just here to help you see things in a different light. I believe we all have an inner knowing and that trauma and ableism teach us not to trust our intuition. I am here to remind you that you have all the answers you need and together we can learn to access them.

Outside of the Office

I can usually be found running at 5 am with friends that I can infodump with - on anything from politics, diet culture, neurodiversity, to anything to do with combining races and travel.

I love taking runcations with friends and my favorite thing to do is explore small towns in New England and Maryland. I am enamored with mountains, lakes and beaches and my happy place is Hilton Head Island, where I've been going for the last 30 years.

I am obsessed with pitbulls and have one named Precious but I wish I could collect all the Pibbles.

My other special interest is neurodiversity, so if I am not running or working, I can be found listening to my favorite podcast, Divergent Conversations, or scrolling neurodiverse content creators and texting with therapist friends.

One of my favorite aspects about being a therapist is working with creative clients who show me all the art projects or crafts they are working on or listening to a client infodump on one of their special interests. I've learned so much about everything from languages and genetics to Anime from my clients and it never gets old.
