Family-Youth Gender Evaluations and Support

I have helped countless families navigate a child’s gender journey with sensitivity and affirmation of youth’s needs, compassion and understanding of parent concerns, and scientific and medical grounding. As a fellow parent, I know how vulnerable it feels to trust a provider to assist with crucial, life-changing decisions for your child. I am passionate about making this journey easier on families, especially now. I love seeing the relief on parents’ faces when they truly feel they have a caring, thoughtful, knowledgeable guide on their side. As a gender diverse person myself, who was a high school teacher, and has worked with youth as an advocate and therapist for years, I can relate to them and help them find the words to express their experience to other family members. Finally, as a professional, I have been steeped in the research on gender identity and related treatment for years and developed my own assessment tools for gender dysphoria that I utilize to train medical and mental health providers. It is truly an honor to support your family.
