Trans Mental Health &
Gender-Affirming Therapy

Are you looking for a trans-affirming, knowledgeable therapist to help you explore your thoughts and feelings about your gender identity? Are you looking for ways to cope with gender dysphoria and build your self-esteem? Or, are you looking for counseling unrelated to your gender but you want to work with a trans-affirming therapist who won't pathologize your experiences?

I have worked closely with trans communities in individual, couple, family, and group therapy settings. I am trained in the WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) standards of care. I provide gender-affirming therapy to transgender, gender diverse, gender queer, and non-binary clients of all backgrounds to help you to feel more confident, supported, and like your best self.

​​

We can work together on topics such as:

• Internalized transphobia

• Coping with gender dysphoria

• Processing thoughts and feelings about your gender

• Setting boundaries

• Building self-worth and self-acceptance

• Working towards transition-related goals

• Exploring options for gender-affirming care

• Letter-writing for transitioning

• Building coping skills to help you endure stressors

• Challenging thoughts that get in the way of your goals

• Strengthening self-compassion for shame resilience

• Processing relationship concerns through individual or trans-affirming relationship therapy

​

I know that being trans is not the only part of your identity and that providing gender-affirming counseling doesn't have to mean focusing on your gender in therapy. I provide a warm, queer-affirming environment in which we can work on topics in addition to or unrelated to your gender such as coping skills, anxiety, depression, communication skills, and self-care.

Regardless of how you identify, you are trans enough and I’m here to provide a space that is affirming and supportive for you.
