Hi there! With over 15 years of clinical experience, I am equipped to help you explore and address difficulties such as identity (sexual and gender), life transitions, stress management, family and relationship dynamics, grief, as well as clinical issues to include anxiety, mood disorders, and ADHD. I provide specialized assistance with transgender transition path planning, resources, and surgery letters. I am also Kink, Poly/CNM, CD, and Neurodiverse knowledgeable.
I am a Certified WPATH member, meaning I have had specific training and testing to ensure I am knowledgeable about up-to-date gender care. I had facilitated several transgender support groups for 10 years, provided training to others, and provide gentle advocacy in my community.
With over 40 years of lived experience being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and having been one of the founders of transgender care in Wilmington in 2008, I have a special place in my heart for members of my community and their loved ones.
