‼️In my 20 years of practice, I hear about this from trans masculine and nonbinary people assigned female at birth.

Recently a viewer shared this discomfort and was surprised when I affirmed organ dysphoria exists. Because there’s limited discussion about this kind of dysphoria. Most conversations about medical transition focus on what’s visible - chest, face, voice.

The internal organs? Those exist in this quiet, private space of distress that people don’t always feel comfortable naming.

If you’re experiencing dysphoria about your uterus and ovaries, I want you to know:

This is real. It’s not dramatic. It’s not “taking things too far.” It’s not unreasonable.

“I should have known sooner” isn’t evidence you were lying to yourself. It’s what happens when you finally have a framework to understand what you’ve been feeling your entire life. You weren’t blind.

You were working with incomplete information.

The fluctuations with BIG gaps keep many adults stuck in place of confusion.

Notice the patterns and cycles. If they keep happening, that’s a solid indicator of ongoing gender dysphoria.

People often ask why I ONLY work with transgender and nonbinary adults.

Here’s the truth:

20 years ago, I recognized a critical gap in mental healthcare. People experiencing gender dysphoria were navigating some of the most important decisions of their lives—often with providers who had minimal specialized training.

So I made a deliberate choice: Focus my entire practice on gender dysphoria assessment and treatment. Not as a side specialty. As my only focus.

Two decades and 7,200+ clients later, this depth of specialization means:

✓ I recognize patterns immediately that would take months for others to identify
✓ I can assess complex presentations involving trauma, neurodivergence, and atypical narratives
✓ California courts have appointed me as an expert witness—one of the few psychologists recognized at that level

Most importantly: My clients typically achieve meaningful clarity in 3-6 sessions because I’ve spent 20 years refining the assessment process.

This is what specialized expertise looks like.

3 signs you need specialized gender assessment (not general therapy):

1️⃣ You’ve been questioning for months or yearsYou’ve Googled endlessly, compared yourself to every trans story, and still don’t have clarity. More time won’t help—specialized assessment will.

2️⃣ You don’t fit the “typical trans narrative.” You recognize some dysphoria symptoms but not others. Your experience feels different from what you see online. Specialists see atypical presentations every day.

3️⃣ You have complex factors: Trauma history, neurodivergence, mental health conditions, and late-life realization—these require someone who understands how gender dysphoria intersects with other experiences.

If this sounds like you, book a free 15-minute consultation.

I’ll give you an honest assessment of whether my specialized services fit your needs—and if not, I’ll tell you.

No pressure. Just clarity on your next step.

This isn’t just theory. It’s based on 20 years of working exclusively with transgender and nonbinary adults like you.
