Most of us receive little to no training in our graduate programs on working with transgender, Two Spirit, and gender–expansive people. This training will address the ways that culture, race, religion, economic status, and ability affect trans people in varying ways. Clinicians will gain skills in creating affirming practices and supporting clients and their families in culturally relevant ways. Participants will leave this workshop grounded in an ethical and trauma-informed framework.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Theological Studies and a Master’s of Social Work from University of Washington in Seattle. Currently, in addition to guiding this practice, I also serve as faculty for the Indian CountryTransgender ECHO project and a consultant with Native American Lifelines. I’m a public speaker on all things related to gender identity and intersectional DEI. I use a framework that affirms gender expansive children, youth, and adults, as well as the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. The best part of what I do is celebrating growth and witnessing courage as people create the kind of lives and spaces they’ve been hoping for. People say they enjoy laughing with me and that I can be direct in a way that is easy to handle.
