Creating Safe Spaces EveryWhere
At Sonder, consultation isn’t just a side offering—it’s a core part of my mission. By partnering with professionals, businesses, and organizations, we help create safer, more inclusive spaces where all people—especially queer and marginalized folks—can show up fully. Healing doesn’t just happen in therapy rooms; it happens in classrooms, boardrooms, and break rooms too.
Why Choose Sonder?
Because this work deserves more than checkbox trainings and corporate jargon. At Sonder, consulting isn’t about performative allyship—it’s about real, sustainable change rooted in empathy, education, and accountability. I bring years of experience as a queer, trauma-informed therapist who has worked at the intersections of mental health, identity, and social justice. Whether you’re a business, school, clinic, or individual provider, I meet you where you are—with humor, honesty, and zero tolerance for shame. If you're ready to go deeper than "diversity 101," you're in the right place.
Building Inclusive Workspaces, Schools, & Communities One Conversation at a Time
Diversity + Inclusion
Workshops and seminars to help businesses foster an inclusive, trauma-informed workplace environment where all employees—especially LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals—can thrive. I offer practical tools for navigating bias, building psychological safety, and creating systems of belonging that go beyond surface-level diversity statements. Whether you're just getting started or ready to deepen your commitment, these sessions meet you where you are.
Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth in Schools & Communities
Guidance for educators, youth-serving professionals, and community leaders on affirming and protecting queer and trans youth. These sessions go beyond the rainbow stickers—offering real-world tools, trauma-aware language, and support for navigating legislation, family dynamics, and identity development. Because showing up for LGBTQ+ youth means knowing better and doing better.
Counselor Support
Specialized training for professional counselors on working with LGBTQ+ clients—because queer and trans folks deserve more than basic “tolerance” in the therapy room. These sessions cover identity development, systemic harm, intersectionality, and the unique needs of LGBTQ+ clients across the lifespan. I offer practical, de-pathologized, and affirming tools so clinicians can move from well-meaning to truly equipped.
Trauma-Informed Systems + Supervision
Training and consultation to help organizations, schools, and leaders embed trauma-informed care into the bones of their work—not just the mission statement. We’ll look at policy, power dynamics, communication, and leadership through a nervous system-aware, equity-centered lens. Because safety isn’t just a feeling—it’s a structure we build together.
Mental Health In the Work Place
Strategies and training to promote mental well-being among employees, designed for real life—not just HR checkboxes. I help teams understand stress, burnout, and emotional regulation through a trauma-informed, nervous system-aware lens. These sessions blend psychology, workplace culture, and practical tools to build environments where people feel safe, supported, and able to show up as their full selves.
Case Conceptualization
Expert guidance on specific cases involving diversity, inclusion, and queer or transgender issues—because sometimes Google and good intentions aren’t enough. I offer case consultation for therapists, educators, and teams navigating complex dynamics around gender, sexuality, identity, and systemic harm. These conversations are collaborative, non-judgmental, and designed to increase both competence and confidence.
