You try (or tried as a child) to make yourself small and stay under the radar to just get by. Home life is/was unpredictable and sometimes volatile. You’ve struggled with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and hopelessness. You don’t trust easily and are guarded. You may feel the impacts of this as numbness, tension, pain, or a sense of disconnection from your physicality. You may believe you’re all you’ll ever have in this world. You may struggle with your own gender identity or, as a parent/caregiver, need support to show-up for a gender creative, gender expansive, trans, or non-binary child or teen.
You don’t have the language – you feel stilted trying to understand yourself or your child. You are seeking a safer space to learn and grow in your understanding and confidence but don’t know where to turn. Hi, my name is Jaime. I’m a White Bodied, trans-identified nonbinary queer person and a rostered therapist with a deep interest in somatic trauma work.
I’ve worked with children, youth, adults, and families grappling with abuse, systems of oppression, accepting/understanding gender expansiveness. My clients say that my presence and care is steadfast and I hold hope as though it were a compass. Allow me to see and hear you, your child, and family system and to offer just the kind of support you need.
