The state fears trans people—not just for who they are, but for what they represent: a radical rejection of imposed norms. Trans existence proves the world can be different, and that terrifies those in power.
That’s why they push fear, hoping to paralyze us. But fear isn’t the end—it’s the beginning. When we process fear instead of letting it consume us, we make room for what comes next: the strength of anger. In our sessions, we transform that anger into power using liberation-centered therapy that builds strength, direct action that disrupts oppression, and queer joy that refuses to be erased.
We are not passive recipients of oppression; we are architects of a world beyond it. Solidarity.
Proud of my client created art in the office ^^
Currently I am focusing on making sure all our trans family has access to whatever they need to help keep them safe, whole, and in charge of their bodies. If you know someone who needs gender affirming care let me know and we can make sure they get connected to the best people, like safe therapists and cool friends in The Questing Queers.
If you are a parent and are looking for someone that checks all of the boxes - come visit the office over at 3301 Cedar Heights Drive, Cedar Falls IA — I think you will be relieved when you see the space.

Starting September 18th, Iowa will force trans and non-binary youth to de-transition. This policy goes against the entire spirit of social work. It is not ok.
