Walking the Path of Self-Discovery

Explore Who You Are in a Heartfelt Space

Like the quiet of the woods offering space for reflection, my therapy sessions provide a confidential, affirming space where you can explore your identity without judgment. Whether you're questioning your gender, taking steps toward transition, or processing societal challenges, therapy can help illuminate your path.

Navigating Life as a Transgender or Queer Individual

Support Beyond Labels

-Building self-confidence and resilience-

-Navigating relationships with family, friends, and partners-

-Addressing anxiety, depression, and trauma related to gender identity-

Together, we’ll focus on developing tools and strategies that help you flourish, no matter the challenges you face.

Affirming Mental Health Referral Letters

Clearing the Path to Your Next Steps

For many transgender individuals, obtaining access to gender-affirming care like hormone therapy, hair removal, or surgery requires mental health referral letters. I have experience writing referral letters that meet WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) standards, which most insurance companies require.

-Letters Are Free: I do not charge for these letters, though you must attend at least one full session with me when possible-

-Streamlined Process: I ensure the letter-writing process is affirming, transparent, and respectful of your journey-

If you’re planning a major step in your transition, let’s talk about how I can support you with both online therapy and necessary documentation. Being able to pursue the medical transition treatments that you need are proven to relieve gender dysphoria. You deserve the new horizons this can open up for you.

Healing and Growing Through Therapy

Strength in Community and Identity

Much like the forest thrives through diversity, I celebrate and affirm the beauty of your unique identity. Your identity is yours. It is not to be earned or proven or explained. Therapy is not just a place to address challenges—it’s also where you can cultivate joy, self-empowerment, and a deeper understanding of yourself.

WE’LL EXPLORE:

-How to embrace and celebrate your gender identity-

-Strategies for navigating the complexities of being transgender in today’s world-

-Ways to build healthy, affirming relationships with yourself and others-

-Connecting to community resources that will embrace and support who you truly are-
