As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, a non-binary individual, I cater to the needs of my fellow members of the community, especially transgender individuals. I have advocated for the LGBTQIA+ community for about four years, returning to my former high school to educate the advanced health classes on gender, sex, sexuality, and gender expression. I provide a unique experience that leads to my ability to relate to my communities and understand what they're going through.
I offer empathetic counseling and an understanding of what transgender individuals go through. I provide a safe, judgement free space for potential clients to discuss their situations. I also have resources to connect my potential clients to that can help them through their unique journeys.
I'm here for you if you need to talk and I'm eager to listen. I want to help you through your unique experiences. Feel free to reach out to me!
