my Story

Lived Experience:
As someone with lived experience in the gender-expansive community, I bring not just empathy but also firsthand understanding of the struggles and triumphs that come with navigating a non-cisnormative identity.

Specialization:
My training is specialized in LGBTQ+ mental health and social support, enabling me to offer insights and resources that are highly relevant and specialized.

Cultural Awareness:
Being attuned to the intersectionality of gender with other aspects of identity like race, religion, and socio-economic status, I strive for an approach that is diverse and inclusive.

Philosophy & Approach:
I focus on creating a space that's not just safe but also empowering. My philosophy is centered on sharing real, actionable resources that empower individuals to live authentically.

Personal Development:
I'm committed to my own continual learning, staying updated on the latest research, legal updates, and healthcare best practices relevant to the gender-expansive community.

Commitment to Community:
The welfare of the group is my utmost priority. From ensuring emotional safety to providing the latest resources, my role as a provider is deeply rooted in a sense of commitment to the community I serve.

In sum, I strive to embody the qualities one would seek in an ideal provider—offering both specialized knowledge and an authentic, deeply committed approach to supporting your journey.
