After struggling to find my own queer and transgender competent therapist who knew anything about asexuality I decided to become a therapist.
I pursued my Masters degree and did my internship at both a queer and trans clinic and private practice. I spent my graduate clinic hours working with couples and many families with trans youth. I still provide therapy to families with trans youth and adults, and have seen an increasing number of couples/relationships with queer and trans members since moving back to Michigan.
