Gender-Affirming Therapy

Affirming, trauma-informed care for transgender, nonbinary, and queer adults navigating identity, anxiety, and complex life transitions in Maryland.

With me, therapy is a space where you are seen, respected, and supported in your full identity. I offer gender-affirming care to trans, nonbinary, gender-expansive, and questioning adults across Maryland through secure online therapy. Whether you’re exploring gender, navigating a transition, or simply looking for a therapist who affirms your lived experience, I’m here to offer compassionate, knowledgeable support.

What is Gender-Affirming Therapy?

Gender-affirming therapy centers your identity, autonomy, and well-being. This work is not about questioning your truth — it’s about creating space to explore what feels right for you with care and intention. We might talk about relationships, body image, internalized messaging, or simply how you want to show up in the world. Your values and goals guide the process.

Letters of Support for Gender-Affirming Care

I provide letters of support for gender-affirming medical care (such as HRT or surgery) in alignment with an informed consent model of care. If you're already clear in your decision, we’ll focus on meeting the criteria and documenting your needs respectfully. If you're still exploring options, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you — there is no rush and no pressure.

I am aware of my position as a gate-keeper and am not interested in making anyone jump through hoops. Letters may be provided as soon as after the first session, depending on your clarity, readiness and documentation needs. Sometimes we will meet for more sessions to help you process the decision, explore your authentic needs and establish an after-care plan.

Who I Work With

I work with LGBTQ+ adults throughout Maryland who are seeking:

  • Affirming therapy from a provider with lived and professional experience in queer and trans communities

  • Support navigating coming out, transition, or identity shifts

  • Letters of support for medical transition

  • Help healing from trauma in spaces that haven’t always felt safe or affirming

My Approach

I bring warmth, nonjudgment, and cultural humility to our work together. As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand the emotional wear of navigating systems that often ask you to explain or justify your identity. Therapy with me is rooted in respect, consent, and collaboration — always.
