Reason for joining the directory
I am hoping to be added to this provider list to connect with more people in the community looking for safe and affirming mental health providers. I specifically work within the sexual and domestic violence world where many people in the community do not have access to mental health services that include gender and sexuality intersections. I hope to be a resource for anyone in the community looking for mental health care. I am also hoping to open myself up to more trainings on how to provide gender affirming care letters and support for my clients.

LGBTQ+ training
I have taken multiple training about affirming care and intersectionality within the community. I also have been to a few trainings specialized in LGBTQIA+ sexual and domestic abuse (my specialization in mental health services), healthy relationships, HIV education and awareness, suicidal ideation supports within the community, and advocacy for the community. I have also lead trainings for my non-profits and surrounding communities around advocacy and education for the community.
