Some of my compassion, interest, sensitivity, and sense of connection made more sense to me when I embraced my own nonbinary identity. The first time I worked clinically with transgender clients was in 2006 at the Counseling Center at Stanford University and that was when I first sought out professional consultation for writing letters for a transgender client seeking hormones (letters were then a requirement for hormones) and other gender affirming interventions.

My interest in serving people of all genders developed in the 1990’s when I first had personal relationships with transgender friends and partners. Sometimes I work with cisgender people about other issues, and I see a lot of cisgender folx who have transgender and/or nonbinary partners, friends, and family members. Of course, I also work with cisgender people (those whose personal identity and gender corresponds with the sex they were assigned at birth). One important aspect of my practice is providing therapy for people of all genders. Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Nonbinary Folx
