I specialize in supporting individuals as they navigate the complexities of LGBTQ+ identities, trauma, alternative relationship dynamics, and intersectionality. As a transgender therapist, I have lived experience in the queer community - whatever your lifestyle, you are not responsible for educating me. You're only responsible for bringing your whole self.
In addition to a higher rate of single-event, "big T" traumatic incidents, many people accumulate symptoms of trauma through disrupted attachment, social rejection, or a lifetime of trying to live in a world which was built for a majority that doesn't embrace them.
If trauma is a part of your lived experience, we can work with it at your pace, in manageable chunks, using evidence-based practices such as EMDR, TI-SFBT, and IFS.
Many adults, especially those in the queer community, are beginning to explore and embrace neurodiversity in its various forms. In fact, gender diverse individuals are three to six times more likely to have been diagnosed with autism than their cisgender peers.
Whether you have a formal diagnosis or suspect that you're neurodiverse, we can explore ways to work with your brain in order to help you live the life you want.
Relationships are complicated, and there's no 'right' way to have one - be it romantic, queerplatonic, non-monogamous, built on consensual power exchange, or any one of the myriad ways to care about another human being.
While I currently only work with individuals, I can help you explore yourself in the context of your relationships, no matter what they look like or how you define them.
