Do you feel different, or like no one understands you? Are you uncertain about where you fit in the world? Maybe you came out to someone and they didn't get it, or worse, they rejected you. My aim is to understand what's troubling you so we can work together toward whatever vision you have for therapy. Maybe you want to feel understood, at home in your body, or at peace with yourself and the people around you. I want that for you too. And I want to hear your story. It's one of the reasons I became a therapist. I’m here to listen so that you can manage life's current difficulties and enhance well-being. I love challenging assumptions and going beyond stereotypes. If you’re feeling stuck, but ready to create the life you’ve been dreaming of, let’s work together. My passion is in working with issues around significant life transitions (some might call me a gender therapist), coming out in later life, relationships, and sexuality. This includes working with individuals who are transgender (or genderqueer/non-binary), intersex, lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, or questioning (LGBTQI), folks who identify as polyamorous or non-monogamous (and monogamous couples, too); and couples in or thinking about an open relationship. I am able to provide letters for hormone therapy, name and gender marker changes, or surgery for transgender or genderqueer clients on that path.
