I'm more than an ally, I'm a member of the community. While our experiences aren't going to be identical, I assure you I can most likely relate. Work with someone who truly understands.

Being part of a marginalized community can be isolating and painful, especially if people you love reject such a core part of who you are. Reconciling your identity, values, and choices is a process that leads to personal acceptance and deeper peace.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Wherever you are on your journey, I aim to support you. We can work together on defining goals for your care whether it be exploring your identity, exploring if/how to share your identity with others, or coping with other stressors related to your life, we will take each as it comes. For some, their gender or sexual identity (or how others currently or historically have responded negatively or harmfully to you) is at the forefront of their life and treatment goals, and for some it is an important part of themselves but not a current focus for care. I aim to be affirming in all that we do, learning about and supporting you as a whole human worthy of dignity, respect, and kindness.
