I’m a licensed psychologist and the founder of The Evergreen Initiative, LLC, a 100% virtual private practice offering affirming, collaborative mental health care across Florida, Michigan, Virginia, and all PSYPACT-participating states. My practice was intentionally designed to serve LGBTQ+ people—especially transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse adults—seeking knowledgeable, respectful, and affirming mental health support.

As a trans man and psychologist, I integrate lived experience with advanced clinical training to provide informed, trauma-aware, gender-affirming care. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating gender-affirming care pathways, exploring identity, and building confidence in medical and social transition decisions. I regularly provide WPATH v8-compliant gender-affirming mental health evaluations and letters of support and am committed to reducing gatekeeping while prioritizing client autonomy, empowerment, and safety.

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I support LGBTQ+ adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, chronic medical conditions, executive functioning challenges, life transitions, and stress related to systemic barriers and discrimination. Many clients come to me seeking a provider who truly understands trans and queer experiences, medical advocacy challenges, and the realities of navigating healthcare systems that are not always affirming or accessible.

Specialty Services:
Gender-affirming mental health evaluations & letters of support (WPATH v8-compliant)
LGBTQ+ affirming psychotherapy
Support for chronic health conditions & disability-related concerns
Behavior change and health habit support (e.g., smoking cessation, executive function, habit building)
Anxiety, burnout, identity development, and life transition support

In addition to clinical care, I provide LGBTQ+ education and professional consultation for healthcare systems and organizations. For nearly a decade, I have delivered engaging, evidence-based trainings ranging from 1-hour webinars to multi-day workshops on inclusive healthcare, LGBTQ+ allyship, policy development, and reducing institutional barriers to gender-affirming care. I’m known for an approachable style, “sharp, quick wit,” and the ability to translate complex topics into practical, real-world action steps. My goal is to move organizations beyond checkbox awareness and toward truly affirming, accessible, and equity-centered care.
