Gender Affirming Care

Ongoing Individual Therapy

I do not believe that transgender and non-binary people need therapy to make informed decisions about their bodies, transitions, or lives.  I do believe that systemic oppression can take a toll, and strive to create space in therapy where an individual’s experience of that toll can be understood, supported, and alleviated.

I am trained in gender affirming care best practices and work with transgender, nonbinary, and gender questioning clients toward self-identified goals.  This may include exploration of these identities as a primary goal of therapy, or may simply involve acknowledging these identities as just one part of a person’s complex web of identities and experiences worthy of validation, exploration and support.

Letters for Surgery

I support clients in pursuing gender affirming surgeries by providing standalone evaluations and support letters.  You do not have to be an existing client to schedule an evaluation.  In these sessions, I use an informed consent approach, which I believe honors the human dignity of trans and non-binary people and reduces barriers to care; the letters will still meet the WPATH standards required by most surgeons and insurance companies.  Letters can typically be completed after one session and sent to your identified surgeon or insurance company within five business days.

I offer these sessions and letters at no charge and schedule them as I have availability. If we are not able to schedule a session in time for your needs, you may check GALAP for other providers who will also offer no cost letters.
