I will never think of you as the problem that is hanging around, or in a diagnostic, labeling way. Instead I will ask a lot about your triumphs, listen with interest and empathy to your concerns, struggle with you to find solutions and celebrate the successes.

Current therapy interests

Although my practice includes individuals, couples and families with all sorts of concerns, problems, and successes, my current interest is in working with friends, families and partners of transgendered individuals. I have come to understand that they are a marginalized, frequently unseen group of individuals who are struggling with ideas of their identity, grief over significant losses and wondering about the past and the future
