Books

Treating Trauma in Trans People is mostly intended for clinicians who are working with TGE people in the US. It was published in 2022, which was a somewhat friendlier climate, so there are some pieces that are less relevant today. I also have a book coming out in November, 2026 that is focused more on TGE adolescents, especially as we navigate a climate that is more hostile and challenging.

The Trans Person’s Guide to Self-Regulation is a free e-book that is meant for trans people who want specific strategies for self-regulation. It was written by nine different clinicians with our own ideas, experiences, and ways of sharing information. Please download it if it could be helpful to you or anyone you know.
