Hi there, I'm America!

My focus is LGBTQI2-S Affirmative Therapy because I believe everyone deserves to be supported, understood, and celebrated during their therapy experience. Whether working individually with children or adults, with a couple or a family, I focus on establishing a safe environment.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning or Queer, Intersex, Two-Spirited, Gender Non-Binary or Gender Awesome. I understand that overcoming personal, relationship, and family issues can feel like an overwhelming challenge for those struggling with identity issues.

My approach

I provide a safe and welcoming space where you can develop self-awareness and love your authentic self. Using Person-Centered, Narrative, Attachment Theory, Solution-Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral approaches, I build a supportive bond that facilitates authenticity and increased satisfaction in relationships.
