Gender & Sexuality Changes

All sexual identities and sexual practices are welcome and respected. We can use self-identifying language that allows you to feel most comfortable. Your experience, your language.

I offer therapy for those amid mid-life or later-life gender exploration, affirmation, and transition.

I also offer therapy and support for parents, partners, and families of gender nonconforming adults who may or may not identify as having a queer sexuality.

I am comfortable working with BDSM, Fantasy, Kink, and Alternative lifestyles as well as Polyamory, Non-monogamy, and Open Relationships.

I provide assessments and letters for Gender Affirming Treatments and Official Name (view more info on the Policies & Fees page).

Social Media Use Issues

Social media can be both a beneficial and harmful platform. Many people, ranging from teenagers to adults, have trouble controlling their use of social media. Sometimes work doesn’t get done, family and friends are ignored, and attention spans become limited.

As with any relationship, establishing healthy boundaries between you and your device can be difficult. It can be helpful to learn new tools and develop the muscle necessary to be in control of your phone, so it's not the other way around.

Chronic Pain & Disabilities

Many of us are well until we aren’t; some are born unwell. Disability and chronic illness may appear in one’s life in a multitude of ways.

Accepting what may be permanent or chronic regarding health and physical ability requires strength and adaptation - this is no easy task. As a psychologist living with a chronic illness and disability, I have a unique and compassionate understanding of this difficult journey.

Letters of accommodation can be provided (see my Policies & Fees page for more info). Contact me to schedule a private consultation.

Non-Native English Speakers

For the first generation, navigating a new world, a new language, and foreign customs can be stressful - not just when arriving in the States, but for years to come. For the second generation, bridging the divide between the new world and the old has its own unique stressors, often not understood by either world. Support in navigating this ongoing journey can be vital in managing the accompanying physical and emotional stressors and establishing balance.
