Services
I offer long-term psychotherapy as well as mental health evaluations to determine readiness for gender affirming medical intervention.
All services are provided virtually, via HIPAA-compliant, secure video conferencing.
Psychotherapy
In long-term psychotherapy, my priority is to cultivate a trusting therapeutic relationship and to provide you with a safe environment for your wellness journey. Together we will create an individualized treatment plan and set goals to identify and address challenging patterns of emotions, thoughts and behaviors.
Gender Support Evaluations
Some gender-affirming medical interventions, such as surgical procedures, require a letter of support from a licensed mental health professional. I will meet with you to discuss your gender goals and readiness for your desired procedure. My goal in this process is to serve as your advocate and write a letter that accurately represents your experiences and expectations. Letters are written following the WPATH Standards of Care.
