Does This Sound Familiar?

You're exhausted from the constant mental loop of questioning yourself, but you can't seem to find clear answers. Every day brings the same thoughts with no resolution:

  • Lying awake at night thinking, "What if I'm not trans enough to deserve transition?"

  • Avoiding mirrors and wondering, "What if I regret this and ruin my life?"

  • Googling "am I trans?" for the hundredth time, hoping for certainty but finding more confusion

  • Watching other people's transition stories and asking, "How do I know if this is dysphoria or something else?"

  • Feeling guilty about potentially disappointing family and thinking, "What if everyone rejects me if I come out?"

  • Putting off decisions because you're terrified of being "too old to start over"

  • Feeling like a fraud and wondering, "What if I'm just going through a phase?"

  • Dissociating through daily life, asking "What if transition doesn't help and I still feel empty?"

How I Can Help You

I’ve seen a thousand variations of Gender Dysphoria and gender questioning cases. As a result, I have gained in-depth knowledge and understanding of the complexity of these issues. Gender therapy is often a pivotal moment in a person’s life and can take you from an anxiety-dense life to a feeling more in control and experiencing a sense of direction for the first time.

When we work together, I bring a comprehensive lens to your experience. I don't just listen to your story – I understand the intricate patterns, the subtle nuances, and the complex interplay between your gender identity and life experiences. My approach considers everything from childhood experiences to current circumstances, from financial realities to family dynamics, and covers:

  • Complex pattern recognition in gender histories

  • Deep understanding of various dysphoria presentations

  • Root cause analysis expertise

  • Personalized roadmap creation

I highly recommend setting up a free 15-minute phone consult with me to get insight on whether I can help your situation and to offer you an assessment of how long it may take to gain clarity.
