all services are currently being offered via telehealth through TherapyNotes. after scheduling, a video link will be emailed to you. all video communication is HIPAA compliant.
due to my state licensing board regulations, i unfortunately cannot provide services to anyone living outside of california.
individual psychotherapy
i often work with:
trauma, complex trauma, ptsd
exploring & embodying sexual and gender identity
lgbtqia+ affirming counseling
cultivating & maintaining boundaries
relationship issues
adjusting to new life circumstances
adhd
stress, anxiety, depression
codependency
gender affirming care support letters
my hope is that soon we will not need to meet with someone for a letter to make decisions about our own bodies and healthcare, and that california will operate on an informed- consent model for gender affirming medical care. for now, adults in california can generally access HRT without a support letter (there may be some exceptions based on a medical provider’s clinic policy) but may need support letters for various surgeries.
my role is not to determine the validity of your gender- you know who you are. the letter-writer’s role is to vouch that you are an appropriate candidate for a procedure (for example, have considered aftercare, are familiar with expected risks and benefits, etc.).
you do not need to participate in ongoing therapy to qualify for a support letter. generally, we can gather sufficient information during consultation and 1 or 2 meetings.
