Queer and Trans Adults

I work with queer and trans folks across the lifespan. Whether you are coming in to explore your identity, or you just want a therapist who you don’t have to educate, I am here to support you. As a member of queer and trans communities in the Bay Area for the last 20+ years, I am particularly attuned to the needs of those across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, including: 

* Relationships / social and emotional development
* Second (or even third) adolescence
* Dating and all these apps
* Trauma (including but not limited to gender/sexual minority stress)
* Anxiety and depression
* Sexuality and pleasure
* Intersectional identities
* Advocating for yourself in work, family, and healthcare settings
* Affirming medical interventions & surgery support letters^
* Internalized homophobia and transphobia
* Neurodiversity
* Transmisogyny and the devaluation of femininity
* Trans-masculinity and discomfort with men
* Partners of trans folks
* Poly relationship structures
* Kink practices

 ^ I commit to offering one free letter a month for gender-affirming surgeries for adults in order to increase accessibility and decrease gatekeeping.
