I am proud to be a queer and trans clinical psychologist-in-training. (You can use any pronouns for me!)

The safety and wellbeing of trans and gender nonconforming people is a top priority in my research, clinical work, and teaching. If you are trans or questioning and need someone to talk to, please call Trans Lifeline for mental health peer support.
