About Us

" I am a white neurodivergent nonbinary trans woman interested in supporting adults navigating life changes of all kinds, with specific attention to collaboration with trans, nonbinary, and (neuro)queer individuals. My hope would be to identify and to build on clients existing strengths and skills to foster increased confidence, values-based problem solving, and affirming connections in relationships. I defer to practices that root therapy in each clients lived experience and that challenge the ways we often reduce suffering and distress to individual questions of functioning, resilience, and exploitability. I am COVID conscious. ", I strive to stay attuned with the needs of our queer, disabled, and mad communities. I hope to reduce the negative impacts of medicalization, pathologization, and currents of curative forms of care while also supporting access to existing care with a sense of transparency and collaboration. I mask and use air filtration for in-person sessions. , " As a neurodivergent (Im autistic/ADHD) trans person, I have worked in and navigated systems of care related to physical and mental health care, social assistance, and gender affirmation. I have experience as a professional and a community member fostering interpersonal relationships and care networks that respond deliberately to the needs of those involved. "
