Fueled by an unwavering love for coffee and accompanied by my trusty rescue dog sidekick, Zoey, I navigate the world with humor and heart.
When not helping clients, you'll find me traveling to far-off lands and soaking up foreign languages and cultures like a sponge.
An explorer at heart, I love hiking through nature, where I can pretend to be a wilderness expert and secretly hoping Zoey will save us if I get lost.
Back in civilization, I can often be spotted driving with the music cranked up, dancing and singing along with unbridled enthusiasm (and probably many wrong lyrics) to my favorite reggaeton songs.
You can expect me to be compassionate, caring, respectful, collaborative, fully engaged and non-judgmental. I welcome the opportunity to work with BIPOC folx and anyone from the LGBTQIA+ community that identifies as a woman. Every person is unique, so I tailor my therapeutic approach to fit your specific needs and goals. I practice active listening, ensuring that I fully understand your perspective. This helps me provide the best possible support and guidance. My goal is to empower you to take control of your life and make positive changes.
Therapy can be really hard, so I like to joke around (when appropriate of course) to lighten the mood a bit. I am honest and forthright. I will ask the tough questions and (gently) challenge you, even if it's uncomfortable. Sometimes those rough patches create the best therapeutic relationships. The purpose is to push you outside your comfort zone so you can grow and be the person you want to be. Therapy is a journey, and I’m here for you every step of the way.
My approach is client-centered, holistic, and collaborative. I'll work with you to identify your goals and develop a personalized treatment plan. I prioritize building a compassionate, trusting, and safe therapeutic relationship so we can work on your goals together.
I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Kentucky. Currently, I am an

I use emotionally focused individual therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused brief therapy to help you break free from unhelpful thoughts and actions that are preventing you from living your life authentically.
In an effort to always educate myself, I have completed multiple trans- and gender-affirming trainings, including the "WPATH Standards of Care 8" and
"Supporting Patients Undergoing Gender-Affirming Surgery."
I am dedicated to continuously participating in educational opportunities to more knowledgeably support the trans community.
