Hello! I'm Katy and I'm a nonbinary, LGBTQ+ affirming therapist serving Pasadena in person, and virtually in Wisconsin, South Carolina and California. My specialty is transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming teens and adults. Gender identity issues are difficult to navigate whether it's exploring gender, coming out, or wrestling with anxiety and depression that can follow. Through personal and work experience, I've worked with many clients and at the client request, their families to navigate gender questions and challenges. Come visit for an hour and let's see how we can work through this time together.
I have been working with teens, children, and adults with anxiety, depression for 10+ years and if needed, I offer a unique focus on gender identity for the individual and their family (if the individual so desires). I work with cis individuals, too, and enjoy helping people navigate life transitions, existential questions, anxiety, and /or depression.
I can provide letters of support for gender affirming surgeries at a fee that you decide is affordable to you. I like to meet about 1-2 times if you're looking for a surgery letter only. If you are a therapist, a practice, or business looking for consultation on how to be more LGBTQ2IA competent and friendly, I do enjoy sharing my experience and expertise!

For transgender issues, I can assist you (or if you're a parent, your child) in dealing with gender dysphoria, exploring their gender questions, and assist the family in navigating this confusing time. Maybe you've already navigated this journey and know your gender, we can look at other issues you may face in the world as someone who is trans-whether it's depression, anxiety, or relationships.

The system(s) we live in often believes we need a formula to get better. It's easy to believe we need "X" kind of therapy to heal, and in some limited situations it's true. We aren't robots, and one size doesn't fit all. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship, and use a variety of treatments to best help you.
