And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Transgender Affirming Therapy in Irvine, California

Have you been thinking about your gender identity for as long as you can remember?  
Do you feel trapped and exhausted by playing a role that doesn't seem to fit?  

Are you worried that exploring your gender identity may lead to rejection by the important people in your life?

In the past you've thought "It's not a good time to pursue this."  Now you find yourself wondering: if not now, when?  Maybe you've tried to push the feelings down, but they never truly go away.  And you're worn out from the energy it takes to present yourself in a way that doesn't feel authentic.  

Many people feel unsure of where to begin or where the road may lead them.  That's natural.  Wherever you may be on your personal path, my goal is to support you, be it through gender questioning and exploration, a social and/or physical transition, or even a decision not to transition.  We can work together to discover whatever is right for you, at whatever pace feels right.

An important part of my private therapy practice is working with clients on gender identity issues.  These can vary widely, and include clients who identify anywhere on the gender spectrum as well as those who love them.  (Group for partners and spouses.  Click here for flyer.)
​

Many of my clients are at a point where they feel comfortable, for the large part, with their gender expression.  While our gender identity is a part of who we are, we are complex and diverse.  With this in mind, I strive to create a safe and affirming space for my clients to explore whatever aspects of their lives may need attention. This could include:
  • anxiety and stress management
  • depression 
  • navigating relationships and improving communication
  • setting appropriate boundaries
  • grief and loss
  • life transitions and aging

If you have questions, give me a call at 949-648-7991 for a no-cost brief phone call or email me at TransAffirmingTherapy@gmail.com.  If you're ready to get started with counseling, schedule an appointment using the button above.  Phone and video appointments available.  LGBTQIA-affirming and secular, welcoming clients from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
