You've been trying to live up to cultural, social, and others’ expectations. Caught up in the “shoulds,” you have overextended yourself to the point of burnout. You want to explore your sexuality and gender identity but shame gets in the way because these topics have been considered taboo. You find it difficult to set boundaries and navigate enmeshed family structures. You often feel like an actor in your own life, performing and wearing masks just to get by. This can be so draining and express itself as anxiety, depression, and avoidance. You don’t have to do this alone!
As a second-generation Armenian immigrant, queer, gender-affirming, and sex-positive therapist. I bring in both lived and trained experience to facilitate a compassionate, safe space of healing. My goal is to support and empower you starting with meeting you where you are to create a life that is authentic to you and your values.
Together we will explore those deeper spaces while also considering the systemic issues that may contribute to your pain. Finding a balance of culture and self is possible. Together we can work to integrate all parts of you so you can live a more complete and full life. If this sounds like you, schedule a free 15-minute call to talk about working together!
