Gender Affirming Therapy

It’s okay to need help, when you’re ready, I’d be happy to take this journey alongside you.

Hello and welcome

Living outside the heteronormative binary, trans and gender-nonconforming individuals often face unique challenges and discrimination. As a gender-affirming therapist in the Los Angeles area, I have the honor of sitting with people as they navigate the layers of gender, sexuality, culture, and race that shape their everyday experiences.

Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked with the trans* community as a therapist and as an advocate. If you identify outside of heteronormativity, it is invaluable to work with a therapist who grasps and affirms the breadth of gender and sexual identities.

Online sessions available. Please contact me for more information.

Gender Identity

Questioning your gender can come with intense amounts of shame, fear, and anxiety. Together, we will unpack the elements that create these feelings and hold space to explore gender.

LGBTQIA Relationships

Straight relationships are well-represented in our society, while LGBTQIA relationships often are not. Therapy is a great space to explore the types of relationships you would like to build.

WPATH - Letters for gender affirming surgeries

If you are considering a medical transition, I can provide mental health clearance letters that adhere to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) standards.

Sexuality

Whether you are questioning your sexuality or identify outside of heteronormativity, it’s imperative to get quality support. Growing up in a heteronormative society, you’re made to feel othered. In our therapeutic relationship, you will experience belonging, understanding, and inclusion.

Working with the Transgender Community

Trans discrimination and oppression can heavily impact one’s mental health. While you may at times feel scared, alone, and unloveable, good support is available. As a trans-affirming therapist, I want you to recognize that in a cisgender dominated world, your lived experience matters.

Whether you’ve come to therapy to explore your gender identity, or you’ve identified outside the binary for years, you’ll find a compassionate, understanding, and nurturing therapist here. My aim is to help you embrace who you are and feel well cared for in this journey
