Empowering Trans Folx
I provide gender-affirming therapy that is respectful, and understanding of your particular, lived experiences. As a therapist, I know how important it is to provide a safe environment where you can explore your identity without judgment, and to be knowledgeable about the unique issues that transgender individuals experience.
Additionally, I will support you in managing anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges, which are often exacerbated by societal stigma and/or discrimination. I will provide the safe space to encourage your own empowerment in embracing your true self.
If you are looking for guidance in navigating gender-affirming hormone therapy and/or surgeries, I can discuss both the medical and social aspects of those transitions with you and help you plan and prepare for the process from beginning to end.
Does any part of this story resonate with you?
transgender journey
For a long time, you felt a deep sense of unease that you couldn’t quite name.
What you saw when you looked at yourself in the mirror, the way people treated you—it never felt right. You found yourself questioning your true identity. It was confusing, lonely, and at times, terrifying. But slowly, through self-reflection, research, and connecting with others who felt the same way, you began to see a clearer picture. The more you explored, the more you realized you weren’t broken—you were just uncovering the truth about who you are and who you're meant to be.
When you finally recognized that you were trans [nonbinary, gender fluid, agender], something shifted inside you. The doubt and uncertainty gave way to a growing confidence. You found strength in being honest with yourself, and soon enough, you were ready to share this truth with others. You decided that living authentically mattered more than receiving potentially negative responses from people. Coming out was terrifying, yet incredibly powerful. The moment you said, “I’m trans” out loud, it felt like you were breathing freely for the first time in your life.
Now, you're considering taking the next step. You want to start hormones or are seeking gender affirming surgery to become who you were always meant to be. It’s about more than just physical changes; it’s about aligning how you feel inside with how you present to the world.
You deserve to live your truth, surrounded by those who accept, support, and love you exactly as you are.
How I can Support you...
GEnder Identity
Let's challenge gender & sexuality norms and expectations!
As a staunch ally, I provide gender-affirming care by creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore your true identity.
We will discuss common stereotypes and expectations about gender and sexuality and why they don’t always fit everyone. I will validate your experiences, promote self-acceptance, and provide culturally competent care.
I support you in expressing your true self confidently, whether that means using different pronouns, changing your appearance, or pursuing gender-affirming surgery so how you look on the outside matches how you feel on the inside. I'm able to provide letters for gender-affirming care.
We'll strategize how to identify stressors, deal with bullies, negative reactions, or discrimination you might face and help you build resilience by finding healthy ways to cope with stress and emotions.
Together, we will identify caring, loyal, and compassionate people in your life and build your support network. Having people who accept, support, and encourage you to celebrate your true self are crucial.
