My intention is to work collaboratively with you to affirm your strengths, identify your challenges, and find ways to support your growth into the unique human being you are created to be. My areas of specialty training are related to developing greater integrity between who we are and how we live our daily lives. One specialty area is the assessment and care of persons who experience gender dysphoria and incongruence. My other specialty is assessing, treating, and accommodating high functioning Autism, especially in girls and women because, due to estrogen, the symptoms appear very differently than in boys & men.
After earning a PhD in clinical psychology, I completed a post-doctoral residency focused on assessing & treating high functioning Autism (Asperger's) and ADHD. I have extensive training & experience in issues of sexuality, gender identity, and gender health. I have also have >20 years of training & experience in diversity and inclusion.
Since 1992, I've accompanied persons ages 8-70+ in exploring their gender identity/expression. In 2019, I was one of the first healthcare providers to become a WPATH Certified Gender Specialist. I collaborate with primary care, endocrinology & surgical teams in Sioux Falls & across the U.S., including the Mayo Clinic, University of Minnesota & Johns Hopkins.
