Availability: Currently no openings for ongoing clients. I am always available for single-session letters of support for gender-affirming surgery. For the last 7 years, I have worked with trans, nonbinary, and gender-questioning adolescents, adults, and their families. I work with folks who are seeking support around gender feelings,
gender dysphoria
, gender-related trauma, navigating the many aspects of social and medical transition, or are simply wanting mental health support (for anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, etc.) without the added stress of explaining or educating on trans and nonbinary-ness.

I specialize in working with gender identity development (
transgender
, non-binary individuals),
gender dysphoria
, and sexual orientation. I primarily work with children, adolescents, and young adults. Treatment focus includes anxiety management,
gender dysphoria
, improving self-esteem, connection to community, relationship skills, and readiness to transition (if desired). Whether you're exploring new feelings of gender variance or have been identifying as trans* for years, there are times when falling outside the traditional gender binary can bring up feelings of anxiety, stress, or confusion. Working with a therapist trained in LGBTQIA issues and gender non-conformity can help.

I specialize in working with folks who struggle with eating disorders, PTSD, C-PTSD, Grief/Bereavement, Adoption and/or Foster Care,
Gender Dysphoria
,
Transgender
issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, and issues related to sex/sexuality.
Mental health shouldn’t be a privilege. So much of how we feel in our minds and bodies has to do with the identities we inhabit in the world and how our environments do or do not support us. Counseling is a tool that can be helpful when dealing with the natural anxiety, depression, and grief that can arise as a result of living in a culture that refuses to see you or value you. I work with folks through an anti-oppression and somatic (body-based) lens. As a Non-Binary and Queer therapist, I am passionate about the decolonization of the therapy space. The personal is political.

Currently waitlist only. I am a nature-based therapist, meaning I work outside! My work is supporting
transgender
, non-binary, queer, and lesbian ADHDers to grow self-esteem, co/self-regulation, compassion, and belonging. I use tools at the intersection of nature-based therapy and magical/spiritual practice. These include ritual, divination, spell-work, song, sandtray therapy, mindfulness, and movement. I support clients in connecting with elements, nature, ancestors, and other guides. I help people access healing through connection with nature, parts work, family systems therapy, healing internalized oppression, and play.

I am a queer and nonbinary therapist who specializes in working with
transgender
, nonbinary, and gender expansive individuals.
Our lives are shaped by the stories that we carry with us. Healing begins when we can safely share them with others. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process in which we get to recontextualize those stories through truthful and empowering reframes. Clients who work with me tend to find that I often weave their passions into the work we do together. Therapy is best done when we can show up authentically. The therapeutic relationship is arguably one of the most important factors that determine success in therapy. For that reason, I strive to create a space where there is mutual respect, trust, and authenticity.

I am a Queer
Transgender
guy.
Sometimes personal tragedy strikes and you need to talk. Often systemic oppression and microaggressions can cause depression, anxiety and PTSD. I believe that hope is an endurant quality that gets us through the hardest parts of our life. Counseling is about restoring hope and advocacy within the context of an apathetic society. I teach self advocacy skills and boundary setting. My overall approach is compassion focused. I believe that clients know what is in their best interest and I hope to assist you in reaching your goals.

I'm a trans woman and licensed independent clinical social worker in the states of Washington and Minnesota, with over five years of experiences spanning
transgender
care, sexual assault advocacy, community mental health, and behavioral health care.
You are not too much. Nor is what you have been through too much. If you struggle with gender or sexual identity, sexual or domestic violence, or other forms of lasting trauma, I can help. Just know that I believe you to be, at this moment, exactly who you need to be in order to survive. I also believe that things can get better.

Email strongly preferred! I specialize in working with college students and LGBTQIA+ people (13 and up), including the
transgender
/gender diverse community. This includes a range of queer identities (non-binary, ace, demi, pan, intersex, etc.). I also welcome people from all walks of life, including those who do not identify as LGBTQIA+ (heterosexual and cis people); again, the college student population in general is a focus of mine. I also love geeks and gamers. I work from Compassion Focused (CFT), Client-Centered approach, but I tailor my approach for each person. (Note: I plan to drop Regence/Blue Shield in September 2023)

I am affirming of
transgender
and non-binary people and enjoy supporting and exploring personal identity and experience.
As a therapist, my goal is to walk alongside clients as we explore their unique experiences and struggles. I believe that people have innate creative abilities when it comes to healing and self-understanding. Sometimes stress and trauma can block or limit our ability to connect to that innate skill. I utilize relational and strengths-based approaches and support people’s understanding of their own self and path. My therapy background revolves around trauma, attachment, and growth in parenting/caregiving. I enjoy working with parents/caregivers of children with complex social, behavioral, relational, and developmental needs.

My specialty is working with
transgender
and gender non-conforming clients.
Ideally, I would like to use my extensive training and 40+ years of counseling experience to support, assist and advocate for clients whose personal identity lies on the LGBTQIA2S+ spectrum, while they explore, investigate, or plan the rest of their life journey in their true identity. Naturally, I do NOT exclude others from becoming clients, since I also have a wealth of experience serving clients from the vast straight and cisgender community.

transgender
clients, poly clients, and those who are managing chronic illness.
I offer individual, couple, and family therapy. I am a systemic therapist. I believe your community, your family of origin, and the greater world in which you live all impact your situation. My focus is on promoting your strengths to help you achieve your goals. I use a variety of therapeutic interventions, but the common thread that links them is Mindfulness. In my work with couples, I apply Gottman theories to your preferred family structure. I enjoy exploring gender identity and also enjoy working with people to strengthen their relationships with themselves and others who are important in their lives.
