"Someone to talk to"

“Doing peer navigation with Keri has been so helpful for me on my gender journey. I'd recommend peer navigation to anyone who is questioning their gender and just needs someone to talk to"

Helping you navigate your gender journey

We believe that the best people to provide guidance are those who have walked similar pathways. That's why all of our peer navigators are trans or non-binary.

Our sessions are really relaxed where we provide a peer based model to walk beside you and help support where we can. This is not clinical therapy, and we don't tell you what you should or shouldn't do in relation to your own journey, however we work together to find some ways to make sense of things, and to provide you information for aspects of moving forward personally, or medically when thinking about gender.

Meet our Peer Navigators:

Keri (she/her)

Keri has a lived experience of transitioning over 11 years ago and uses her life skills embedded within an Intentional Peer Support model to connect with and support anyone thinking about their gender or navigating their own journey.

Keri holds a Bachelor degree in Human Services majoring in Child & Family, with a wealth of experience in both private and public servant sectors of the Human Services field.

Keri is warm and empathetic in her practice and endeavors to help you feel at ease and comfortable talking about sometimes difficult conversations.

Kai (he/him)

“I was feeling apprehensive before the session with Keri but when she introduced herself and the space, I felt very safe and it felt really easy to open up about my struggles and experiences...

I felt like I was talking to a friend who understood what it was like to not fit in society's gender norms.

It was amazing being able to voice some of my thoughts I didn't even know I subconsciously held. I would most definitely recommend reaching out regardless of where you are at on your journey!”
