You are so tired of merely existing. You want to find self-acceptance, but sometimes you struggle with knowing what that "self" even is. You feel like you don't belong anywhere and that everyone around you has abandoned you. You feel like you are doing all of this alone. You are in pain and no one around you even knows, because you refuse to let them see it. Or you don't want to be a burden. But you know deep down you can't keep going like this, because you're a pressure cooker and you just need some relief. Or some guidance. Or SOMEthing. You may feel like you face rejection everywhere... but not here.
I'm a LGBTQIA+ and relationship minority affirming therapist. My primary goal is to help you find your inner strength (it's in there!) and move forward into a place where you can start truly living your life instead of trying to "just get through it." That really is possible. And I can be a source of strength in the moments where you lose sight of that.
Clients have said that my own lived experience helped them open up and become comfortable more quickly. When we stuff them down, these struggles can leave us feeling stuck, isolated, and misunderstood, and opening that door can be terrifying. But I can help you dig in and walk through these painful moments with a strong guide next to you. Let's do it.
