Hi there, I'm Susan!
Congrats on getting to this point! It can feel like a lot getting started. Now, would you like a therapist with a quirky sense of humor, even when working on trauma? What about a therapist who has lived experience with family members aligning their body expression? How about a collaborative client/therapist relationship? If yes, I am yours. (:
My focus
You are tired of trauma porn? You know, telling the tale to one helper after another only to see 'that look'...the one that tells you this person has no idea what it feels like to be the teller of such tales. Tired of therapists who claim to help you find full gender expression, then misgender and micro-aggress you? Yes? We just might be a match.
My approach
I approach each person with the belief that my job is to work myself out of a job. I listen to what you would like freedom from and work on a plan to get that freedom for you. It could be freedom from anxiety, trauma, gender presentation, or sexual orientation. It could be freedom from other people's opinions or your own negative self-talk.
