Gender-Affirming Surgery Assessments
Born and raised in San Francisco, I was fortunate to grow up surrounded by members of the LGBTQ community long before I identified as a member myself.
Whether you feel confident in who you are and whom you love or are still exploring your gender identity or sexual orientation, I have worked with many others like you. The majority of my clinical experience was spent in a primary care clinic that began 40 years ago to serve lesbians and bisexual women before becoming a world-leader in transgender health services: Lyon-Martin Health Services (LMHS). Starting as a part-time therapist, I worked my way up to Mental Health Director overseeing the entire department and expanding services given community feedback.
I was thrilled when colleagues at LMHS were instrumental in changing Medi-Cal's stance on covering gender-affirming surgeries.* Since 2014, I have provided hundreds of assessments, always viewing my role in the process as a guide rather than a gate-keeper. I am well versed in the details that are helpful when insurance companies and/or surgeons are reviewing each client's readiness for surgery. Now licensed in California, Oregon and Washington, I am able to provide assessments to clients living in any of those states.
