The process of questioning and discovering your sexual orientation or gender identity can be an exciting adventure into your personal expression, and it can also be a frightening, awkward and confusing time. Whether you are the parent of a child teen or young adult who is just beginning that journey or you are questioning your own identity, I am here to support you. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who has been there and navigated the ups and downs of coming out, finding doctors, making decisions about transitioning, dating as a queer person, etc.
When I was navigating my own gender and sexuality discoveries, I didn’t know a single adult person who was transgender. Because of where and how I was raised, this made me scared about my future livelihood and the possibility of living a healthy, prosperous and happy life after transitioning. As a queer therapist, I want you to know it doesn’t have to be that way. You CAN live a happy and fulfilling life as a trans, non-binary or otherwise queer person, even if the family and friends you have now would not be supportive. I can serve as a testament to that.
I am here to walk alongside you throughout your journey, as a supportive, nonjudgmental person who will listen, offer guidance, help you manage the scary, low points along the way and be there to rejoice with you each step of your unique path.
