My pronouns are they/them and I specialize in LGBTQIA+ care including Gender Identity, Sexuality, and Religious & Complex Trauma. I also write letters of support for medical gender-affirming care, including HRT and top surgery. I have a strong background in intersectional feminism and social justice. Every person deserves to be valued and every person is valuable. I recognize social oppression can't be healed with therapy alone. I have lived experience navigating our society as a visibly trans/queer/lesbian and neurodivergent individual living in Northern Michigan. My wife and I live upstate in a small town with our three cats! View 6 Photos As a queer/trans therapist, I understand the complexities of gender and sexuality. My clients continue to confirm that having a therapist who understands their perspective has made a huge difference during their healing process. I also have experience assessing and providing support for Autism, ADHD, and DID. I enjoy working with clients who may be struggling with gender identity, gender dysphoria, religious trauma, and/or complex trauma. During our initial sessions, we will discuss what you want to gain from therapy and collaborate as a team to create a personalized treatment plan. You are the expert of your brain and body; and I am a knowledgeable facilitator.
