Gender-Affirming Surgery Letters

Gender-Affirming Therapy & Letters for Surgery

I am a licensed therapist dedicated to supporting transgender and non-binary individuals on their journey toward self-affirmation and well-being. My goal is to provide compassionate, affirming, and respectful mental health care, including letters for gender-affirming medical procedures. I understand that navigating the healthcare system can be challenging, and I strive to make the process as seamless as possible.

My Approach

I believe that every person deserves to be seen, heard, and supported in their authentic identity. My practice is rooted in affirming, trauma-informed care, which means I work to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story. I recognize the unique challenges that transgender and non-binary individuals face, including discrimination, lack of access to care, and societal barriers. My role is to help bridge these gaps and support you in achieving your goals.

How It Works

1. Initial Consultation - Our first session is about getting to know you. We will discuss your needs, experiences, and goals. This is a space where you can ask questions and share any concerns.

2. Comprehensive Evaluation - Using WPATH guidelines, I ensure that your letter meets all necessary requirements while centering your lived experience. This process is collaborative, and I will work with you to make sure your needs are met.

3. Timely Letter Delivery - If appropriate, you will receive a letter of recommendation for surgery or other gender-affirming medical care typically within a few business days. My goal is to minimize unnecessary delays and ensure you can move forward with your transition as smoothly as possible.
