• Why did you get into gender counseling?
  
  I became interested in working with transgender clients during my graduate work at OLCS (Oak Lawn Counseling Services).  I had focused my research on sexuality and gender issues and found my work with people dealing with gender to be satisfying and natural for me.  I enjoy helping people feel good about themselves. This is a population of people that are not only underserved, but are severely underrepresented.
  

• How often should I come see you?

Frequency of visits depends on you and your needs.  I prefer for you to determine when you need/want appointments. I'm not an advocate of forced or required sessions.  I have found you must want therapy to value it and make it work for you. Most people start off with weekly sessions and begin to spread them out, eventually evolving into maintenance sessions only.  Of course, the more I see you, the better equipped I am to assist you.
