/ˈmadˌkap/
adjective
amusingly eccentric
Welcome!
I devote my practice, located in Mesa, AZ, to gender-diverse and LGB/Queer adults. I have experience working with transgender, nonbinary, gender fluid, and genderqueer individuals. I value creating a safe and confidential therapeutic alliance to address your needs whether they are based on gender identity and sexuality or other mental health concerns such as trauma, depression, and anxiety. I am trained in EMDR therapy and use a variety of other treatment approaches depending on your unique needs.
I also offer evaluations to assess for surgical readiness for gender affirming surgery and other procedures. I am a member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and follow the latest standards of care when providing referral letters for my clients.
On a Personal Note...
I’m constantly drawn to anything out of the ordinary, whether it’s a peculiar hobby or a fascinating new trend. Mental health has been a significant theme in my life, and I am fortunate to have a career that aligns closely with my passions and experiences in this area. It’s a privilege to be able to turn my personal journey into something meaningful and impactful.
As a queer ambivert, I navigate the world with a blend of introspection and social energy. And for those who follow astrology, you might be interested to know that I’m a Taurus—steadfast and determined, with a love for the finer things in life.
