I’m glad you found your way here!

My name is Eben,  I am a licensed mental health counselor. I provide gender affirming, trauma informed therapy for transgender, non binary, and queer folks as well as young adults and adults navigating life transitions, substance use, relationship dynamics, and complex mental health experiences.  

I understand how important it can be to work with a therapist who already understands the realities of gender identity, transition, and queer community life. 

My goal is to create a space where you do not have to explain the basics of who you are in order to feel respected. I believe that therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what you are carrying, and reconnect with your own clarity and resilience.

My work draws from feminist therapy, person centered therapy, strengths based practice, parts work, and trauma informed care. I also use approaches like Motivational Interviewing and CBT when helpful. Therapy with me focuses on understanding your story while also building practical tools that support real change in everyday life.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade working in community mental health, housing services, medical case management, and outpatient care. I have supported people navigating substance use, homelessness, HIV care, trauma, and serious mental health conditions including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Those experiences continue to shape how I approach therapy today.
