Meet Ezak

I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community with a focus on transgender and nonbinary folks to address a variety of issues including gender dysphoria, identity exploration, anxiety, and depression. I utilize a person-centered and strengths-based approach, and I have been trained through a multicultural and trauma-informed lens. I work with adults wanting to make a change in their life and I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their goals.I utilize a social justice and intersectional framework in acknowledging the systemic oppression affecting BIPOC communities and its impact on mental health.
