Are you tired of having to explain your multiple identities and their impact on your personhood to professionals in the medical and helping fields? Do you sometimes feel like you've managed to score a BINGO of intersectionalities which prevents nearly everyone from understanding most of you? Have you "done the work" but are finding yourself frustrated about how nobody else in your life has? Let's talk about it! I specialize in working with folks who are chronically ill, disabled, queer, and/or neurodivergent, and I feel comfortable working cross-culturally and with many forms of spirituality. I see individual adults and adolescents.

You might be feeling disconnected from yourself or those around you, constantly replaying old wounds, or even avoiding situations that trigger painful memories. If you’re looking for lasting change—true, transformative healing—you’re in the right place.

I’ve built a career out of understanding and helping people who are queer, transgender/gender non-conforming, ethically non-monogamous, kinky, and otherwise living truths that are somehow outside the norm.
You know you want therapy, but you’re nervous about choosing a therapist. What if you end up with someone you have to educate about your sexual orientation or relationship structure? Or someone who doesn’t understand your gender identity or respect your pronouns? What if your therapist is dismissive of how oppression has impacted your mental health, or can’t handle the trauma you’ve been through? If you've had these worries as you look for a therapist, I might be the one for you. The people whose lives don’t fit neatly into society’s boxes aren’t just my “clinical interest” – they’re my community.

Most therapists are caring people, willing to help with whatever you’re going through. But it’s not always so easy to find someone who fully gets your lived experience, particularly in the areas of LGBTQIA+ identity. That’s one reason why I specialize in helping those who are dealing with gender identity, gender dysphoria, and sexual orientation issues. I can empathize and affirm where you’re at right now, supporting you as you identify your authentic self, your needs, and your goals.

You were not born inherently flawed, you were not born to suffer, but maybe somewhere along the way, your brain received this information, shaping the way you live your life. The isolation, guilt, shame, anger, and sadness often feel inescapable, making it difficult to ask for and accept help from others. You may feel stuck in a loop of harmful and problematic behaviors, thoughts, relationships- you know something isn’t working, but can’t seem to figure out why or where to begin to start feeling better.

As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
