Are you struggling with coming out or exploring your gender identity during this awful climate in America? Navigating life as a trans person these days is daunting and draining. Are you riddled with anxiety, fear or just feel uneasy. I am a safe space for you. I am a WPATH gei v8 certified gender specialist who has been working with the community for over a decade. I understand the struggle of coming out or finding your own place in the world. I enjoy working with people from 6th graders to adults who want to be who they really are. It is okay to need help, and I know you are the authority of your own identity.
I am a secular therapist who specializes in working with people with chronic pain and illness, people recovering from religion or religious trauma, and people who are neurodivergent including autistic and ADHD. I also write WPATH soc v8 gender affirming letters for hormones and all trans affirming surgeries in 1-2 sessions and I support informed consent.
Stop struggling so hard to find the perfect therapist for you. Let's chat. I do offer free 10 minute consultations you can email to schedule or make a full appointment on my website. I offer expert and convenient care for my clients through video throughout GA, NC, SC, TX and FL. Email me for a free consultation.

My clients are often autistic, have ADHD or chronic pain and illness. I typically work with the transgender and LGBTQ community. During the first session we will either write your gender affirming letter or we will get to know your concerns and your goals for sessions. My sessions are goal oriented and therapy is usually just a few months, although I work with some clients for years.
