My Approach
My approach with each client is based on individual needs and I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all model in health care, especially gender-affirming care. I use psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, feminist, relational, humanistic and strengths-based modalities and theoretical frameworks to inform my practice. It is my professional goal that my clients progress to a greater understanding of themselves and feel stronger from the work together, whether it is for one or multiple sessions.
Together the focus is on wellness and bolstering resilience.
