Supporting authenticity is an important part of my work! I have worked with individuals all over the spectrums of sexuality, gender identity, and expression. I strive to be informed and respectful of client pronouns, chosen names, and identities starting from your intake paperwork and first interactions with me.
You may be seeking counseling largely because of your identity - to seek support pre transition, cope with changes to support system, process related trauma or fears, or address other barriers to living more authentically. I also understand that your focus may be entirely something else.

RCC can provide Gender Affirming Surgery letters according to 2024 WPATH Standards. |
