"Gender Transition" means many different things to different people. Together, we can work on what that means, explore identities and language, discuss options, or simply help you reach a goal you've already decided on.
​
If desired, I can facilitate linkage with the most qualified surgeons and medical providers, and help you to access knowledgable, competent, and affirming transgender care.
I am experienced in writing recommendation letters for clients seeking to begin taking hormones or obtain gender affirming surgical treatment.
I am happy to complete psychiatric evaluations and provide diagnoses of gender dysphoria as required by medical providers.
Recommendation letters for hormones and surgeries
A meaningful goal in therapy is coming to recognize one's own journey and struggles in an empowering light. I am here to support and validate you as you explore life experiences, gender identity, language, and options for transition, since you are the ultimate authority of your mind and body. I can also help you learn techniques to manage anxiety, depression, PTSD, and internalized negative beliefs that hold many of us back from realizing our full potential.
