Individual Therapy
I provide affirming individual psychotherapy to adults (ages 18+). I have a passion for working with gender expansive folx as well as folx who are exploring all facets of sexual health and functioning. I approach sexual health support from a sex positive and pleasure-centered foundation. Additional experiences I often work with include: stress, anxiety, depression, adjustments/transitions, relationships with food and body, struggles with confidence and self-worth, and navigating various relationships structures. I am a celebratory kink, poly, and ENM provider.
Letters/Documentation
I also write letters of medical necessity for gender-affirming medical and/or surgical treatments (GAMSTs) for adults (ages 18+). Typically this process involves about 1-3 individual sessions to complete a full diagnostic assessment and to ethically inform the documentation needed for these letters. Documentation reflects language found both in the DSM 5-TR and WPATH Standards of Care (SOC) Version 8. I approach documentation needs from an informed consent model.
Service Modalities
Sessions can take place both in-person and via telehealth. Telehealth sessions are only available to those who are physically located in the state of Minnesota at the time of the session. With the onset of Covid-19, telehealth has become a much safer option to minimize the spread of illness on a general level. As a fully vaccinated and annually boosted provider, I take the health and safety of this work very seriously and encourage others to prioritize their health and safety as well.
