Gender identity issues, sometimes called gender dysphoria or gender conflict, occur when an individual feels an inconsistency between their physical gender and the gender they truly feel or identify with. This most commonly exhibits itself as a physical discomfort with the gender one was assigned at birth, including the feeling of being in the wrong body. Children with gender dysphoria may express disgust of their own genitals or a certainty that they will grow up to be the opposite sex. Some individuals with gender identity issues treat this feeling by physically modifying their bodies to better match their gender identity. Gender dysphoria comes with it an increased risk for depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and bullying. If you are experiencing gender identity issues, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s qualified professionals today.

My clinical focus mirrors my lived experience as a nonbinary (masculine), pansexual individual (he/they) who identifies as a member of LGBTQ+ community, has been in ethically non-monogamous, open relationships, and who has multicultural and multiethnic roots (Latiné and North African). I enjoy working with adult (18+ years old) men who are exploring their gender, sexuality, and relationships, members of the LGBTQ+ and kink communities, and survivors of sexual trauma and domestic violence.

Are you working on understanding how your past experiences affect your present? Do you want to dismantle the lies that trauma has told you? I know how sometimes our thinking brain KNOWS the lies aren't true, but our emotional selves FEEL like they are. I look forward to working with you to understand how we can challenge these lies and get you back to recognizing how fabulous you actually are.
