Transgender Therapists in Miamisburg, OH
I believe wholeness is the essential nature we are all born with. None of us come into the world feeling unlovable, unworthy or undeserving. Inequities, injustices and trauma pervade our external world. Our individual experiences, environment and the "unknown" may leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed and or struggling to manage our emotions, ultimately impacting our relationships, jobs and more. It is never too late to heal.

My approach to therapy is assisting the client find their own personal strengths and values to improve the quality of their life. We do this together, discovering ways the client can reach their inner resources for growth. I believe the therapeutic process is mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual, and I integrate all of these areas in my approach.

I practice with the belief that therapy can be a rich and vital exploration into understanding the deepest parts of our selves: the parts we cherish as well as the parts we want to change. We all have unconscious patterns that can get in the way of living the life we want to lead. These patterns can manifest as anxiety, depression, phobias, physical illness or pain, addiction, even rage. These symptoms can affect relationships, work, self esteem, creativity, and sexuality. Change is possible when these patterns can be expressed and understood in an open, and accepting space.

I take a lot of pride in the work I get to do with clients. I genuinely consider it an honor for folks to let me into their lives and trust that I can support them through the tough times. The world is chaotic and our more immediate worlds can get jostled around by it all. I don't claim to be able to help everyone I work with, because I don't know if that always feels realistic to the struggles at hand. However, I can promise to offer acceptance, support, empathy, and care so that you don't feel as alone or untethered. I understand that many people want to make changes, and we can work towards that with kindness and compassion.

I work with those who feel like they're carefully managing their relationships and feeling unfulfilled, over-extended, and chronically flooded by the demands of showing up for themselves. They find themselves in dynamics that are impactful in distracting and painful ways, with much of their effort often driven by a sense of scarcity. In my practice, I seek to help restructure the relationships clients have with maintenance, abundance, and reciprocity in their inner and outer worlds.

I approach care with the belief that mental health deserves the same attention, empathy, and expertise as any other medical condition. With training in family medicine and deep experience treating complex behavioral health concerns, I meet people where they are and walk with them toward sustainable healing. You’ll find a judgment-free space built on trust, where goals are realistic, progress is honored, and setbacks are never viewed as failure—just part of the journey.

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.
