Gender Therapy
Affirming support for trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive individuals across the lifespan
At Konnected Therapy, I offer gender-affirming care that centers your autonomy, your journey, and your truth.
Whether you’re just beginning to question or are years into your transition, this is a space where you can be heard, seen, and supported—without assumption or agenda.
Who I Work With
- Adults & Nonbinary Clients
You may be exploring identity, navigating gender euphoria or dysphoria, seeking letters for surgery or HRT, or processing how disclosure is impacting family, work, or relationships. Together, we’ll move at your pace—whether you’re finding language, building confidence, or grieving past experiences.
Letters of support are available for adults and nonbinary clients as part of your therapeutic care. - Teens & Parents
If you are a parent or guardian looking for support for your teen, please reach out directly to discuss fit and process. Gender work with teens involves a collaborative, family-informed approach. I offer consultation and support for parents navigating their own feelings while showing up for their teen with curiosity, care, and courage. - Partners, Friends & Family
Gender journeys can ripple through loved ones’ lives too. I support partners and family members of trans and nonbinary folks who are working through change, confusion, or fear, and want to show up in affirming and connected ways.
What Gender Therapy Looks Like Here
- Therapy that doesn’t expect you to have all the answers right away
- Support whether you’re questioning, transitioning, re-transitioning, or de-transitioning
- Space to unpack intersections of race, disability, neurodivergence, religion, kink, or class within your gender experience
- Help identifying personal, medical, or social goals without pressure to conform
- Guidance navigating disclosure, safety, access to care, and community connection
- Support for intersex clients, especially those impacted by medical trauma or non-consensual interventions
Trauma Informed and Systems Aware
My approach draws from EMDR, Liberation Psychology, Affirmative CBT, and narrative work, always with an awareness of how systems of oppression—including cissexism, racism, ableism, and classism—can shape your relationship to your body and identity. I hold space for grief, rage, joy, ambivalence, and celebration.
Not Just Identity Work - It's Healing
For many clients, gender therapy becomes about so much more than labels or decisions. It’s about healing from past harm, reclaiming joy, and connecting to a future you can imagine yourself in.
