Affirmations LGBTQ+ Community Center, 290 West Nine Mile, Ferndale, MI 48220, 248-398-7105, http://www.GoAffirmations.org

      Affirmations LGBTQ+ Community Center was founded in 1989 with a mission to provide a welcoming space where people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and cultures can find support and unconditional acceptance, and where they can learn, grow, socialize and feel safe. Our goal then was to fight for acceptance and basic human rights for our LGBTQ+ community. We proudly celebrate Ferndale Michigan as one of the most LGBTQ+ friendly cities in the United States.

     I'm a trans nonbinary therapist who specializes in helping clients navigate OCD, anxiety, and sexual trauma (and often the intersection of all three). I help clients understand that anxiety is not actually an emotion, but a way of avoiding bigger, more unpleasant feelings bubbling beneath the surface. Much of my work consists of helping folks process their grief at the existential nightmare that is the world we live in. Using mind-body therapies like IFS and ERP, I teach clients how to get in touch with these Big Feelings without being swallowed by them. I bring a deep understanding of how oppressive systems impact our relationships with ourselves and each other, and encourage clients to do the same. I'm especially passionate about providing trauma-informed sex therapy to LGBTQ+ folks and/or sexual violence survivors. I also specialize in treating OCD, anxiety, burnout, and executive dysfunction. Creating safety in feeling scary emotions is central to my practice, as is providing tangible tools to help clients feel more capable in addressing their struggles, whether that be recovery from sexual trauma or difficulty with executive functioning. I believe firmly in using therapy to guide folks toward pleasure, whatever that means to them.
