Are you a queer, trans, non-binary, or gender expansive person exploring gender/sexuality while coping with homophobia and/or transphobia? If you are TGNC, do you find yourself experiencing gender dysphoria and also want to explore gender euphoria? In a cishet-centered world, it can be difficult to prioritize queer joy and safety. Regardless of where or how you fit into the LGBTQIA+ community, my hope is that we can start that prioritization process together while also holding space for the hard stuff. As a therapist, I believe that you are the expert in your own life. My aim is to listen and provide warmth, patience, and tools. I work with adults, adolescents & couples who are: Experiencing a crisis or challenge. Looking for support with anxiety, depression or grief. Learning more about their neurodivergence. Unpacking co-dependency, childhood and family dynamics. Looking for support exploring their relationship with gender and sexuality. Navigating transition in partnership. My work is grounded in a social justice and anti-oppressive framework not limited by the gender binary. When not working, I'm cooking and setting off the fire alarm, throwing pottery, and watching good/bad TV. I can sometimes reference a TikTok in a very earnest way. Email me to setup a 20min consult to talk more about co-creating a safe space.
