Gender-affirming Care
Compassionate, informed support for trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive folks—grounded in ongoing training, lived understanding, and a deep commitment to care that honors who you are.
Over the past decade, I have been deeply committed to supporting and affirming 2SLGBTQIA individuals. This commitment became even more personal and profound when my son came out as trans, and I came out as a late-in-life lesbian. While these experiences do not make me an expert on their own, they have driven me to focus the majority of my continuing education on gender-affirming care. I keep this link up to date with a variety of resources.
Since earning my graduate degree, I have pursued extensive training focused on providing informed, compassionate, and evidence-based support to trans and gender-expansive folks. I am qualified to write letters in support of adults or children seeking gender-affirming care, and I do so with thoughtfulness and integrity. These services are mostly offered under my therapy license. You can learn more about this on the home page. Especially in today’s climate, I am unwavering in my advocacy for trans rights and remain vigilant in my commitment to equity, dignity, and access for all members of the 2SLGBTQIA community.
