GENDER AFFIRMING THERAPY
Explore the abundant possibilities for your gender identity, expression, and presentation in a compassionate therapeutic setting.
INCLUSIVE GENDER EXPLORATION
I provide compassionate, inclusive therapy to people exploring their gender identities. For some people, gender identity exploration is the main focus of our work together. For others, it’s an entry point to discussing other salient identities and significant parts of their lives.
Is This You?
you’ve started to question your gender identity experience and you’re feeling unsure about…
Terms and pronouns that reflect you
Social and medical transition questions
Internalized fear of being trans or non-binary
Cultural expectations that might not include experiences of being trans or non-binary
Coming out or not
Advocating for yourself in your families, friendships, partnerships, communities, work, and school settings
Finding sexual practices that feel right for you
“Continue to write, speak, exist, live. Not just to show the world that we’re here. But to show one another that we are. That gender non-conforming life is possible. And beautiful.”

How I Can Help You
I have years of experience working with trans, non-binary, and gender questioning people of varying ages and multicultural backgrounds. Through a combination of traditional talk therapy, psychodynamic relational coaching, Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative therapy, and somatic therapy, I can support you with clarifying your feelings, normalizing your fears, grieving what no longer works for you, and tolerating discomfort through the process of exploring your gender. We can make space for and celebrate who you are, exactly as you are. I can’t wait to see how you’ll shine in your truth.
T4T THERAPY
I feel passionate about working with trans and non-binary people who have been deeply harmed by the medical industrial complex and the current political administration’s attacks on trans rights. As a trans therapist, I understand how helpful it can be to work with someone who knows and appreciates the fundamental aspects of experiences and challenges faced by trans individuals.
somatics & healing from surgery
For trans and non-binary folks who are about to go through a gender affirming surgery or have already done so, somatic therapy can help with reconnecting to your body after surgery. Surgery can be validating and life-saving for many people wanting to align their physical bodies with their inner worlds. During this process, the body might need extra support with integrating medically-induced changes. Somatic therapy can be especially helpful for trans and non-binary folks who experience numbness, nerve pain, or dissociation around their body pre- or post-surgery.
