Gender Exploration and Affirmation

In addition to therapy, I provide specialized coaching services and education for trans and gender non-conforming folks, as well as those questioning their gender identity. As a trans man currently navigating my own transition, I bring both personal and professional experience to our work together. Gender coaching provides a space where you receive support and guidance from a trained professional and community member, allowing you an easier path to living your truth.

Gender coaching might be right for you if…

you just started questioning your gender but need support to better understand these feelings

you know you want to transition, but feel overwhelmed with where to start

you want to figure out which parts of transition (e.g. social, medical, physical) feel right for you

you want to explore the relationship between spirituality and gender identity

you need practical strategies to overcome anxiety as you transition

you want support and guidance from someone who has experienced what you’re going through

Whether you’d like to meet once to discuss a specific aspect of your transition, or you’d like ongoing support throughout the journey, I am here to help. I know being trans and GNC is not a one-size fits all experience, and I tailor my coaching sessions to support you in reaching your individualized goals.

The following are examples of topics we can cover together in coaching sessions:

  • Physical gender affirmation (e.g. clothing, makeup, hair)

  • Resources for legal transition (e.g. changing name, gender marker, updating legal documentation)

  • Resources for medical transition (e.g. Hormone Replacement Therapy, gender-affirming surgery)

  • Dating and sexuality

  • The process of “coming out” (a.k.a. bringing others in to your most authentic self)

  • Trying on possible names and pronouns

  • Tackling internalized transphobia

  • Grieving and mourning while transitioning

  • Gender-related anxiety

  • Navigating political and social hostility as a TGNC person

In an effort to give back to my community, I am currently providing discounted rates for gender-related coaching services. Please contact me to learn more and schedule a free consultation.
