Reason for joining the directory
Given the current climate of attacks against those in the LGBTQI+ community and the lack of access to care, it is important for me to be a safe space where people can explore themselves in variety of ways. I also hope to help people through healing from toxic heteronormative experiences through EMDR and full embrace their truest selves.
