Liberation-focused,
somatic therapy

I’m Eula Lys (“oi-lah leese”).
I’m a trans non-binary therapist, and I provide therapy that celebrates queer, expansive, non-conforming and neurodivergent folx.

Create your space

Therapy that celebrates and empowers.

I get how exhausting it can be to find supportive spaces where you have the freedom to let your identity expand and evolve. I welcome folx from queer, trans, kink, poly and activist communities. Together, we co-create a space where you can slow down, tune into your self, and experience authentic change.

Therapy that’s liberation oriented

As a trans, non-binary therapist, I hold how systems of oppression and transphobia impact how gender expansive and queer folx feel about our bodies. I honor where you are moment-by-moment and give your body and mind space to feel. I hold space where we can name and acknowledge systems of oppression and actively work to dismantle oppressive systems in ourselves and in our therapy space.

Therapy that honors you

I hold a space that is supportive, affirming, and creative. I'm not a therapist who aims to fix you or find solutions. Instead, we create a space where you can learn how to be with your emotions and body sensations, and reconnect to your own inner strength and agency.

Queer embodiment

Through somatic therapy, we explore your present moment experience via your thoughts, emotions, sensations, memories, and body movement.

I help folx navigate gender transitions and affirming care, tap into gender euphoria, and better understand how to meet to your body’s responses with understanding and care.

Together, we use a queer lens and liberatory framework so you can experience your thoughts, feelings, and lived experiences from a place of greater safety. Working this way can lead to more awareness and freedom so you can live the life that feels most aligned with your authentic self.
