My interest in the field of transgender psychology began in graduate school. It came alive for me when I started seeing clients, who have since that time enriched my life beyond measure. I provide counseling for adults, adolescents, couples, and partners/ significant others. My clients identify along all points of the gender spectrum.
My first experience with transgender clients was at Seattle Counseling Service, where I coordinated the Transgender Program, while seeing clients and facilitating the transgender therapy group. I have been involved with the Ingersoll Gender Center as a Board Member and Director of Facilitators. I also coordinate the Partners Program at Ingersoll and facilitate a group there for partners/ significant others.
In 2004, I had the opportunity to appear on a segment of the Oprah Winfrey Show, The 11 Year Old Who Wants a Sex Change, which featured transgender children and their families. These children are amazing and they are fortunately blessed with parents who love them, and either support them or are learning to do so. I feel extremely blessed to have met them and to have witnessed their stories.
