Transgender Therapists in Lakewood, CO
I am passionate about helping people strengthen the relationships that matter most. I work with couples to help develop open communication and deeper intimacy, with families of queer and/or neurodivergent teens to build understanding across differences, and with individuals navigating major life transitions to find confidence and clarity. I offer affirming support for clients that are navigating LGBTQAI+, neurodivergent, kink, or poly relationships. My approach integrates attachment theory, trauma-informed care, emotional regulation, and neuroscience to provide well-rounded therapy.

I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, PTSD, and OCD and have experience working with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, gender dysphoria, self-harm, and chronic pain & illness.
Psychotherapy can provide an invaluable space to explore our fears and suffering with a compassionate witness. Over time, we are able to befriend aspects of ourselves that we have suppressed and begin to recognize that our symptoms are coping skills we have used to survive. I seek to provide gentle guidance to clients to help them move into discomfort, expand their insight, and discover previously untapped strength and resources, while also respecting each person’s unique process and pacing. I have a holistic approach, taking into consideration the mind, body, and spirit as integral to healing.

I am a non-binary, queer, neurodivergent, white parent, educator, and activist. I conceptualize my role in therapy as a thought-partner and story-mapper. I work with clients to trace the threads of their narratives and lived experiences, bringing unconscious patterns into awareness so they can move toward a more aligned and embodied way of being.

There's something different about you. Maybe you're figuring out your sexuality, gender, or romantic life, or exploring polyamory or kink. Maybe you're a plural system. You may view the world through a neurotype or spiritual lens that doesn’t match the people around you. Or maybe your life has been changed by traumatic experiences. It might be really hard to trust people...to risk opening up about what you're dealing with. I get it. It’s hard to know who actually has your back.

I specialize in supporting people with all types of neurodivergence. Many of my clients also have additional mental health concerns. Neurodivergent people are not broken. Instead, our brains process the world differently. However, the world is designed for neurotypical brains, which can make it confusing, difficult, and painful to operate in the world as a neurodivergent person. It can also create or compound mental health concerns like anxiety or depression. Having support from someone with a deep understanding of neurodivergence and mental health can help you better understand yourself and navigate the world around you.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
