Reason for joining the directory
Especially in our current political climate it is important for providers who are affirming and supportive be identified and connected with the LGBTQ+ community. My number one goal when working with clients in counseling is that they feel heard, supported, and accepted. While LGBTQ+ issues may not be what leads someone to seek counseling, it is important that the counselor is accepting and willing to meet people where they are at, and support them on their journey... and not on changing them to be more palatable for the world.

LGBTQ+ training
Multiple trainings regarding gender and sexuality, most recently attended a training titled "Gender-Affirming Care: Evidence-Based Practices". Most trainings I have attended focus on very general information regarding best practices for working with the community. The most salient and helpful information I have learned from my work with members of the community. I have experience writing WPATH letters and supporting individuals as they transition.
