I am a mother to three incredible human beings, a pediatrician with over twenty years of experience, an author of a memoir and writer of many articles and essays, a transgender healthcare provider, an activist.

My memoir, Found In Transition: A Mother’s Evolution During Her Child’s Gender Change, is available anywhere books are sold and can be ordered through my book page.

My personal essays have been published in the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Huffington Post, Women’s Running Magazine, Kevin MD, Grown and Flown, and other sites.

I have presented stories on stage through Expressing Motherhood, been a speaker at a variety of events, a guest on numerous podcasts, and interviewed for a variety of articles.

I’ve taught courses on activism through writing to pediatrics and internal medicine residents at UCLA, and presented Grand Rounds on providing gender-affirming care for trans and gender diverse youth at several institutions.

I have reviewed and endorsed multiple books. I have edited essays, short stories, and novels for other writers.

I am an avid reader, a runner, a wine enthusiast, and always open to the next adventure.

Welcome to my website.

*If you’ve stumbled upon this site and are interested in me as a physician and transgender healthcare provider, this is my website to feature my writing. I am currently not practicing general pediatrics anymore and am only seeing trans and gender-diverse youth for gender-affirming care. You can find my office information through Cedars Sinai’s Website here.
