About

What if the panic is not random? That single question changed how I practice. Panic feels like lightning from a clear sky, yet it almost always has a logic, and finding that logic is where relief begins. I started out in research, and I loved the questions but missed the people; a lab could tell me what worked on average, never what would help the specific person in front of me. Now that person is my entire focus. My practice is gender-affirming from the very first phone call, as a baseline rather than a specialty. I hold my conclusions loosely and my attention closely. A mentor who described her outlook as a lesbian in a less welcoming era of this field gave me a compass I still use: begin where the pretending ends. Expect thoughtful pacing and real depth. We will map the logic of your panic together and loosen its grip step by step. If you are wondering whether this could work for you, I am glad to talk it through.
