Our physical and emotional scars do not define us as human beings; they merely reflect our strength and courage to live. The wounds we all possess provide opportunities to fully embrace ourselves with love, acceptance and healing growth. Because counseling can offer us these possibilities, my ultimate goal as a clinician is to consistently provide a nonjudgmental, compassionate, resourceful, and constructive space for clients and their families exploring gender identity, expression, and transition.
As a gender specialist, I support adults, youth, and their families as they navigate questions, challenges, and celebrations related to the emotional, psychological, social, legal and medical aspects of gender journey and transition. Providing gender-affirming counseling gives me a clinical lens that elevates the advocacy and consulting services I offer.
I specialize in providing professional training as well as policy and curriculum development relating to best affirming practices with LGBQIAP2S+, transgender, nonbinary, and gender expansive folx across a vast array of disciplines. So, whether you’re looking for counseling, consulting, and/or advocacy services, I look forward to receiving your email!
