Being human is tough! Each day it seems like there is something new to worry about. The world is falling apart, and the systems we live in are broken. The "This is fine" meme might be feeling a little too real. All the while, you’re just trying to exist and succeed at college and/or work, explore identity in a world that isn’t affirming, heal from difficult past experiences, or maintain the relationships and activities that are important to you. Anxiety, stress, trauma, and marginalization are all competing with what you want to focus on in your life. If this sounds familiar, then hi!
I most often work with LGBTQIA+ adults who are experiencing anxiety, trauma, or adjustment to life transitions/college. I am collaborative, relationship-based, and values and strengths-focused. Further, I utilize a lens that is trauma-informed and acknowledges the influence of systemic marginalization, intersectionality, and social injustices.
You have made it this far with the resilience that resides within you, and you deserve space to be heard, understood, and accepted. We may not be able to change certain parts of your experiences, but we can approach them with curiosity while taking intentional steps towards what feels important to you. If you’re finding yourself feeling stuck, let’s talk!
