I am a trans man and therapist who offers consultation for parents, individuals, and families navigating challenges related to gender and transition. This includes consultation for parents with a child who has transitioned or is experiencing gender-related distress. My approach as a consultant involves asking questions to elicit a broader perspective on gender-related concerns and life challenges. Clients in consultation work on becoming more clear in their own thinking, and on acting more thoughtfully and less anxiously in their family, social, and professional relationships. My approach is based in Bowen Family Systems Theory, a perspective that involves looking at patterns families and relationship systems use to manage tension and maintain functioning.
I received my Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Vermont in 2012 and completed postgraduate training at the Bowen Center in Washington, D.C.
