Many people arrive with questions, uncertainty, and conflicted feelings about gender.

Therapy can help you make sense of those experiences, explore possibilities, untangle fear from desire, and better understand what feels right for you. Sometimes that process changes how a person understands themselves and their gender. Sometimes it doesn't. Both outcomes can be meaningful.

My role is not to tell you who you are. My role is to help you explore your experience, build trust in yourself, and make decisions that feel aligned with who you are and how you want to live.

Many people spend years carrying questions, fears, hopes, grief, and possibilities about gender without having a place to put them.

Therapy offers space to speak openly, feel deeply heard, explore what matters to you, and listen more closely to yourself than the noise of expectations, fear, or other people's opinions. Often, that space is where clarity begins.

Gender-affirming therapy can support many different experiences, including questioning your gender, navigating social or medical transition, managing dysphoria, exploring embodiment, navigating changes in relationships, and coping with discrimination or minority stress.Many people spend years carrying questions, fears, hopes, grief, and possibilities about gender without having a place to put them.

No.

These are deeply personal decisions. I don't believe anyone else can tell you your gender, how you should identify, whether you should transition, or when and if you should come out.

My role is not to determine what is best for you. My role is to help you explore your experience, make sense of what you're feeling, and build trust in your own understanding of yourself.

Sometimes that process changes how a person understands their relationship to gender. Sometimes it doesn't. My job is not to determine the outcome, but to support the exploration.

Yes.

Decisions about hormones, surgery, and other aspects of medical transition are deeply personal. It is very common for people to wrestle with doubt, fear, and grief alongside excitement, relief, hope, and anticipation. Medical transition can bring up many questions that don't have simple answers.

Transition is not always a straightforward experience. Sometimes it brings profound relief or euphoria. Sometimes it brings unexpected feelings, challenges, or losses. People may find themselves navigating complex feelings about changes in appearance, sensation, physical functioning, relationships, or the realities of living in a changing body.

Therapy can offer space to slow down, explore what matters to you, and listen more closely to your own experience. It can support exploration of your relationship with your body before, during, and after medical interventions.

Many people find that their experiences of gender, neurodivergence, embodiment, communication, relationships, and social expectations are deeply interconnected. Others experience these aspects of themselves as more distinct.

Rather than assuming what the relationship between your neurodivergence and your experience of gender means, therapy can offer space to become curious about how these experiences intersect in your life and what they mean to you.

While I am informed about neurodivergence, I don't assume that your experience will look like anyone else's. Together, we can explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion, and better understand what helps you thrive.

Yes.

I enjoy working with partners who are seeking to support a transitioning loved one while navigating the changes that transition can bring.

Even in loving and supportive relationships, transition can bring up questions about identity, attraction, sexuality, grief, fear, hope, communication, and the future.

Therapy can provide space to explore these experiences openly and honestly without judgment. You do not need to choose between supporting your partner and tending to your own experience.

While I do not offer couples therapy, I welcome working with partners who are seeking support as they navigate change in their relationships and lives.

Yes.

I welcome working with people who are seeking to better understand and support a trans or gender-diverse loved one.

Many people care deeply and want to do right by someone they love, while also finding themselves with questions, uncertainty, or a desire to better understand their loved one's experience. Therapy can provide a space to explore those experiences without judgment.

You do not need to have all the answers in order to show up with love, care, and support.

My practice is focused on adults.

While age is part of that, independence is often the more important factor. I generally work best with people who have enough autonomy to make meaningful decisions about their own lives, relationships, healthcare, and future.

If you are seeking support for a child or teenager, I recommend working with a clinician who specializes in supporting young people and their families.

I can write letters that describe our therapeutic work together or provide support where appropriate. However, some forms of gender-affirming medical care require assessments or documentation from specific regulated healthcare professionals, and Registered Psychotherapists are not authorized to complete all of these requirements. If you're seeking documentation, it's a good idea to check with the healthcare provider or organization requesting it to confirm what they require.

Finding the right therapist matters. I offer longer consultations because I don't believe either of us can get a meaningful sense of fit in fifteen minutes.

During the consultation, we'll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you are hoping for, and how I might be able to help.

There is no pressure to move forward. The goal is simply to see whether working together feels right for both of us.
