The Purpose of Psychotherapy is

To Set People Free

Our Philosophy

At Forward Movement, we believe that every person has the inherent capacity for growth, healing, and self-discovery. Our approach to therapy is grounded in the understanding that each individual is unique, with their own life experiences, strengths, and challenges. We see our clients as the true experts of their own lives, and our role is to guide them in their journey toward greater insight, resilience, and well-being. Therapy is approached relationally, creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can freely express themselves and process difficult emotions. We understand that the path to healing can sometimes feel daunting, which is why we provide a supportive and collaborative environment where clients feel empowered to explore and confront their struggles. We believe in fostering a safe space where new possibilities are created, where challenges are reframed as opportunities, and where every individual can begin to see themselves and the world in a more positive light. Through this process, our clients can build the skills needed to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and clarity. Forward Movement is honored to walk alongside you on your journey of self-discovery and healing.

Clinicians

Hello! 


I’m the Founder and Owner of Forward Movement Psychotherapy, Inc. I specialize in guiding individuals through identity exploration and life transitions. My focus is on the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, class, and religion, with particular attention to supporting transgender and gender-expansive youth and those navigating early adulthood.

My client-centered approach is tailored to meet your unique needs, empowering you to explore identity and examine life’s challenges with care and insight. Psychotherapy is a powerful tool for self-expression, healing, and growth. While therapy can sometimes bring up tough memories and feelings, my goal is to guide you through the process with empathy and understanding. ​ ​Working with me means having a partner deeply invested in your journey. Together, we’ll create a safe space for growth, connection, and transformation, helping you see yourself and the world in new, affirming ways. I look forward to walking this path with you.

Do you feel like you're struggling inside, even though others see you as capable? Perhaps you criticize yourself or feel like you're not achieving enough. I work with people who are successful in some areas but feel frustrated, disappointed, or angry, often without knowing why. They may beat themselves up, hide their pain, or give up on their dreams. As a therapist, I help adults and adolescents learn to respect, trust, and care for themselves, so they can live fully again.

​I tailor my approach to meet your needs, listening with care and respect for your past and where you want to go. I often work with individuals navigating loss, chronic health issues, marginalized identities, and trauma. My approach integrates a developmental perspective, sociocultural awareness, and strengths-based methods. Therapy is often a dance between challenge and encouragement. Once we build trust, I guide my clients in safely confronting the issues they’re facing. My specialty is highlighting moments of success and resilience, even when they might seem small. I’d be happy to discuss whether my approach is a good fit for you and your needs.
