Peer Support

We're trans folks who've been through the systems circus. We'll team up to figure out what's already working for you, find the actually-useful resources (not the ones that just sound good on paper), and make a plan that makes sense for YOUR actual life.

We're trans folks who've been through the systems circus. We'll team up to figure out what's already working for you, find the actually-useful resources (not the ones that just sound good on paper), and make a plan that makes sense for YOUR actual life. Need someone to decode OHP forms with you? Trying to find housing that won't add 2hrs to your commute? Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who won't be shocked when you explain the weird hoops we jump through? That's what we're here for. 🤠

We bring trauma-informed support and our own lived experiences to our work together. You're in charge, we're here to walk with you, lower barriers, connect you to resources and advocate for you if needed. Real support from someone who knows firsthand that being trans in Oregon is equal parts magical and exhausting. You are not alone. You got this.


Relocation Planning

Moving to Oregon while trans? It's hard. Let's do it together. We've supported 100+ trans folks through relocation services and planning, and here's what we know: moving is tough, systems are confusing, and everything takes longer than it should. But you don't have to figure it out alone! We'll walk with you through the overwhelming parts. We can't make apartments magically appear or guarantee... Read More

Moving to Oregon while trans? It's hard. Let's do it together. We've supported 100+ trans folks through relocation services and planning, and here's what we know: moving is tough, systems are confusing, and everything takes longer than it should. But you don't have to figure it out alone!
We'll walk with you through the overwhelming parts. We can't make apartments magically appear or guarantee perfect outcomes, but we can share what we've learned, help you avoid common obstacles, and be there when you need to vent about how frustrating it all is.
We'll help you make a plan, set realistic timelines, and remind you that feeling overwhelmed is completely normal. You'll still be doing the hard work of actually moving your life! We're just here so you're not doing it solo.
