Reason for joining the directory

Because LGBTQIA healthcare access and rights are very important to me. I am also neurodivergent and there is a high level of crossover between the ND population and the LGBTQIA population. So this is a good fit for me as a therapist.

I have had multiple trainings working with the LGBTQIA and follow WPATH standards of care. I have had about 17 years of experience working with members of the LGBTQIA community. I am both a member of the LGBTQIA community and autistic, there tends to be a lot of crossover between the two communities. I am a member of both communities.
