About…

My goal is to help you find not the elusive “authentic” self, but a more grounded self, who can better navigate the struggles of life. As a trans person I am fascinated by people’s unique gender journeys; my desire is to create an affirmative environment to navigate and explore your own. I am also looking to work with those experiencing the co-occuring emotional impact of climate anxiety.

You might be someone that is grappling with any combination of

– The complexities of queer and trans identity
– Transition-related concerns
– Societal pressures and discrimination
– Body image and eating disorders
– Addiction
– Financial struggles
– Fears for our future, climate grief and anxiety

My wish is to provide a safe(r) space that is both supportive and challenging. My goal is to equip you with the tools and strategies you need to cope, heal, and find meaning in the chaos. I want to explore the multifaceted nature of queer & gender identity and I am committed to staying informed about the latest research and best practices in gender-affirming care to ensure that you receive the highest quality of support. I’m here to listen and understand your unique experiences, whether you’re questioning, transitioning, or simply seeking a space to express yourself.

I also believe that capitalism is bad for our psychological and communal well-being and acknowledge the specific financial challenges that trans people might face. For this reason I offer sliding scale services. Please reach out if my minimum rate is still financially challenging.
