I provide therapeutic support for adults who identify as trans, nonbinary, genderqueer, genderfluid, or are currently questioning their gender.
Certainly, not all struggles in your life are due to your gender; However, there is an invisible layer of stress and complications created by living in a world that, at times, refuses to believe or accept you as you are. These stressors are, of course, exacerbated by other intersecting oppressed identities, such as race, class, ability, etc. Because of these experiences, we can start to feel stuck, or fearful, or not good enough, or feel nothing at all. Some of the issues that I provide personalized support around include:
Whether you are just beginning to explore your identity, or have been out for many years, there is always more insight to gain, explore, and unpack about ourselves. It is my hope that in our work together, we will build a trusting, transparent, and warm therapeutic relationship where you will have space to discover what is already strong and special about you, and learn to feel it deeply; To expand your coping skills and grow your resiliency; To explore what there is to gain by living authentically.
