Evolving Fire Counseling

Evolving Fire Counseling Evolving Fire Counseling provides compassionate, affirmative, and trauma/feminist-informed mental health and substance use counseling for LGBTQ+ folkx.

I identity as a q***r, genderq***r person. I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ population, including couples, and families, through a sex-positive, affirming perspective. As a therapist, I utilize a variety of techniques to help individuals, couples, and families work though a variety of concerns including religious trauma, attachment concerns, substance use, and shifts in identity. I draw fro

m dialectical behavioral therapy techniques, through feminist therapy to assist clients in treatment. Change is hard and I provide a safe space to make that change with compassion and accountability. I believe the difficulties gender expansive folkx experience are because of the societal binary gender system. You are not struggling with your gender identity, you are struggling in a world that does not validate your experience. I work with clients who are seeking medical transition and follow the WPATH Standards of Care. I provide clinical supervision for LCMHC-A, LCAS-A, and CSI credentials. Additionally, I am an ACEP provider through NBCC and can conduct CE trainings.
