We live in a time of great hostility, instability, and disempowerment for those who continue to be pushed to the margins of society. I am particularly attuned to the terrifying, nationwide threats that face trans and gender-diverse (TGD) youth and adults that seek to remove our access to life-affirming care, bodily autonomy, and ability to live safely with a sense of wholeness. In sharing in your pain, I firmly believe that we can cultivate a renewed hope, honor the grief of what has been lost, and heal within the context of community.
I have significant experience working with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD and complex trauma, as well as gender dysphoria and transition-related concerns. Additionally, I have written numerous letters of support for gender-affirming surgeries and I am familiar with navigating the process to receive services through OHSU.
Together, I hope to join you in a collective resistance against the oppressive systems that seek to divide, isolate, and disempower us by imagining and co-creating a more sustainable interdependence in which we can transform our world.
