"Those who disapprove will either come around

or stop coming around. Either way, lovely."

- Glennon Doyle 

From the time we are born, we are put into boxes by the world around us. 

 

But what do we do when the

boxes don't fit?

​

Especially these days, gender expansiveness can feel scary. 

Gender trauma is real.

But living inauthentically is excruciating.

I work with intuitive, curious adults who want to explore their gender and find joy in sharing their authentic self with the world. Together, we can help you to become your truest, most beautiful self.

​

I also provide single session evaluation meetings for those seeking Gender Affirming Surgery (GAS) letters of support. The sessions are priced using an economic justice pricing model, with a sliding scale from $250 all the way down to $0. Those who can afford to pay some or all of the fee subsidize those who are not able to pay; either way, I believe cost should never be a barrier to medically necessary surgery.
