Hey, I'm Evelynn! I enjoy working with a variety of issues, but I'm especially passionate about working with gender expansive clients! I'm a
transgender
woman, and my experiences absolutely inform how I approach working with my clients. I will provide space to explore which aspects of expression, pronouns, sexuality, and other elements you want to incorporate into your gender. There are no wrong answers, but we'll work together to find one you are comfortable with! I also have found neurodiversity (Autism Spectrum & ADHD) and eating disorders as additional specialties through working with the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

I am dedicated to helping people suffering from discrimination, family rejection and identity issues due to their LGBTQ+ status, particularly
transgender
persons.
Are you depressed, stressed-out, feeling like life is out of control, and sometimes just like giving up on it all? You CAN live a happier and more fulfilling life. There is hope--at times like this, it's important to have someone calm, supportive and understanding to help you work things out. I have 2 Master's degrees and have been practicing gender-affirming therapy for over 25 years. Specializing in
transgender
issues, my style is both collaborative and compassionate. Together we can solve problems to help you and your loved ones lead a better life.

I believe therapy provides space to develop a professional relationship which provides the listening, understanding, validation, and empowerment everyone can benefit from to navigate life's obstacles. I have experience working with adults and couples from a variety of backgrounds. Many of my clients attend therapy to work through relationship issues, academic and career concerns, depression, anxiety, struggles with identity, and life transitions. I also offer assessment services for adults (19+), specializing in ADHD evaluations and gender identity/
transgender
assessment services.

A Note For Grownups: If you're reading this, chances are you have a loved one that identifies as gay, lesbian or gender diverse and you're likely looking for a therapist for them or for yourself. I know firsthand as a parent of a gender diverse child the fear, worry and confusion that you may be feeling. Before you react to your loved one negatively and before you give in to that fear, reach out to me. Let's talk about the scary stuff BEFORE you go to your loved one with it. Let's talk about the important stuff like how you'll be able to affirm and even celebrate them once the scary stuff is less scary.

My therapeutic lens is rooted in the tenants of social work and social justice. As a clinician I meet clients where they are and recognize that no person functions outside of their environment. So as we delve into issues of mental health symptoms, we will also be investigating how society at large plays a role in our health. I lean heavily on psychodynamic processing and a focused mindfulness practice called Brainspotting. I also engage clients through CBT, DBT, and narrative therapy. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly and am continually in the process of being anti-racist.

The best way to contact me is via email because I am often in session, so I won't answer the phone. I believe in people living their best life and being their most authentic self. I believe that everyone has the right to inclusive, competent, weight neutral, and trauma informed mental health care and that's what I focus my practice on. I am an affirming and inclusive therapist who believes in calling out systemic and societal oppression and injustices. While I can't tell you a space is safe I hope that my office can become one for you.

Life can be difficult to navigate through and no one should feel like they have to do it alone. I have discovered that building a supportive and enthusiastic relationship through therapy, can create a safe place to explore life struggles, understand difficult issues, develop new skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations to lead a more successful life and move forward. I believe that within a safe, trust-filled therapeutic relationship, people can decide upon and implement the changes necessary to improve their lives. My goal is for you to feel understood, validated, and free of judgement.

Most of the time we can manage the ups and downs of life without extra support. Then something shifts, and it can feel like it all collapses like a house of cards. Quickly, it can feel like you don't even recognize yourself anymore. None of the skills you were using to successfully manage your life work like they used to. You're overwhelmed and at a loss for how to get unstuck. At times even the seemingly tiniest of changes can shake us to our foundations, and leave us feeling adrift; but change is often the perfect opportunity to grow.

We are a multiethnic and multiracial group practice that centralizes care for BIPoC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Clients who come to us are working though life challenges related to their identities. They are often in a process of self-exploration, working to make sense of their place and identity in the world where they are made to feel like "the other" and have been marginalized, traumatized, and blatantly microaggressed. We recognize the importance of finding providers who get it, from a shared and lived experience. Here, our aim is connect communities of color and queer communities with providers of color and queer providers.

What type of Omaha mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
