Why Before You Step Outside?

Before You Step Outside PLLC is named after a chapbook titled "Before You Step Outside [You Love Me]" by Travis Alabanza, a Black Nonbinary Gender Non-Conforming Transfeminine British Performance Artist, Writer, and Theater Maker. In this work they wrote . . .

"It is not me who is the problem, more the world that cannot hold me."

This quote informs much of how I understand the world and how I approach therapy -- in a way that honors your majesty, strengths, and unique lived experiences while noticing the ways the world does not.

Let's reconnect you to your strengths, inherent goodness, and sense of community by working to be in safe and healing relationship

Before You Step Outside.
