Gender & Sexuality Affirming Therapy
Gender, sexuality, relationships, and identity can shape how we experience ourselves, others, and the world around us. I provide affirming, collaborative care that supports exploration, emotional wellbeing, and self-understanding in ways that are responsive to each person’s lived experience.
Whether you are navigating identity development, anxiety, relationships, transition-related care, or simply seeking a space where you can show up more fully as yourself, I’d be honored to bear witness to your journey.
Areas of Exploration
guiding our Work together
The therapeutic process can create space to explore identity, relationships, emotional wellbeing, trauma, and the broader social and relational contexts that shape lived experience. We’ll shape the journey together.
IDENTITY & SELF UNDERSTANDING
Exploring gender, sexuality, identity, and self-expression in ways that foster greater clarity, self-trust, and emotional connection.
Relationships & Belonging
Processing experiences related to family, intimacy, friendship, community, boundaries, belonging, and relational patterns.
Emotional Safety & Regulation
Building greater awareness of emotions, boundaries, nervous system responses, coping strategies, and emotional resilience in everyday life and relationships.
Trauma & Healing
Supporting individuals processing trauma, shame, rejection, invalidation, and difficult life experiences while fostering greater emotional safety, resilience, and self-understanding.
Anxiety, Stress & Life Transitions
Supporting individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, emotional overwhelm, uncertainty, and major life transitions with care grounded in emotional awareness and relational support.
Navigating Structural Oppression
Exploring how systems of oppression, marginalization, discrimination, and social expectations impact identity, relationships, emotional wellbeing, and lived experience.
MY APPROACH
The CARE Framework
Guiding Clinical Judgement in Gender-Affirming Care
CARE (Contextual Assessment for Relational Ethics) is a framework I developed through my research on gender-affirming care, professional boundaries, and clinical judgment. It is grounded in the belief that meaningful ethical decision-making requires careful consideration of developmental needs, structural realities, client self-determination, potential risks and consequences, and the cultural and community contexts in which people live their lives.
