About the Facilitator
Eli Cuda (they/them) is a non-binary therapist who grew up in a small Oregon town and knew very early that they had a passion for caring for the LGBTQ+ community. They find a great deal of joy and fulfillment in supporting trans youth and their families, and are excited to be offering this space.
Outside of their work as a therapist, Eli enjoys, spending time with their 7-year-old child and wonderful partner. They love foraging for mushrooms and other edible native plants, knitting, having game nights with friends, and lounging with their two black cats, Melon and Fern.
