I provide specialized care in the exploration of gender identity for children, adolescents and adults. I work with clients to navigate through the social and emotional aspects of transition, and also provide a specialized knowledge of the medical components including psychological assessments for hormone therapy and gender affirming surgeries. I work from a resilience based framework, encouraging clients to not only explore the challenges of transition, but to celebrate the joyful moments with authenticity and courage. In addition to working with children, adolescents, and adults who may be exploring gender identity, I work with parents, partners, and families. I share knowledge of the logistics of transition, but, perhaps more importantly, I provide a safe space where you can ask questions and feel supported as you acquire the tools to support yourself or your loved one. First and foremost, I will assure you that you are not alone. You are on a journey that can be daunting, but it can also be exciting and empowering. I look forward to getting to know you and your story. As Brene Brown wrote, "Owning our stories and loving ourselves through the process is the bravest thing we'll ever do."
