I became passionate about LGBTQIA+ care as the parent of adult children who identify as transgender. I saw the reactions of their peers’ families, and the difficulties they faced from the community and the world. By constantly learning how to support clients, with all the diversity they feel in their own gender and sexuality journey, I feel privileged to grow as a caregiver. My clients are my best teachers, each voice and experience unique. I decided to step into a role of protector for youth and adults making the transformation. I educate parents on how best to support their children (or adult children).

I use an eclectic approach individualized to each client. I attended several trainings here at OutCare. In addition I am trauma certified, play therapy certified, and ADHD certified. I am working on my EDMR certification and several others. I am accepting new clients, and can do telehealth as well as in-person visits. I have worked with many teens on gender identity and sexual identity, as well as adults. I would love to help support you on your journey! I do write letters for gender-affirming care, but you need to establish as a client and give me enough opportunities to learn what work you have done as I am liable, so I don’t do single visit letters.
