Being more connected to ourselves or the important people in our lives is central to living a healthy, fulfilled life. When we feel there is a disconnection to those we love, or out of alignment with ourselves, our life may feel out of control. When this happens, it can lead to unhealthy choices for both our physical and mental wellness. I work alongside my clients to help reestablish those connections that have seemed to have weakened over time. Like a GPS navigation, I assist my clients in finding the direction in life that is most suitable to resolving their problems. It is a collaborative process between the client and me.

It is extremely discouraging when our fears, self-esteem, or mood get in the way of living a our lives the way we want and making rewarding connections with others. It is even more challenging when you also experience personal trauma or trauma on the community level. A culturally in-tune therapist can help.

You can feel safe to talk openly about your unique experiences tied to your racial, sexual or gender identity and the intersectionality of those and many more aspects of you.

Life often feels out of control. I view therapy as the process of working towards self-empowerment in the midst of an unpredictable world. My passion for counseling stems from my own experience of learning to control what I can, while also being kind to myself as I learned to let go of what I could not. I believe that as we become aware of people, places, and mindsets that are no longer serving us, we make room for those that will.

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.
