As a Queer therapist and a member of 2SLGBTQI community, I have worked extensively with Queer and Trans individuals around sexual, cultural identities and the impact of various forms of oppression on their mental health. They have had experience of trauma, depression, anxiety, isolation from family and alienation from the mainstream culture. In a collaborative and compassionate way, we had worked together, to explore how to form more dignified relationships, to become more receptive to change and to grow in ways that nourishes them in their personal lives and in their chosen communities.
I have worked with LGBTQI+ who have experienced trauma and would like to explore how to navigate relationships with family friends and community. Considering that various forms of oppression impacts our well being we would explore how to navigate the systems in place to reach your goals.
To explore whether we could work together we would arrange to meet for a free twenty minute consultation session. In this session we briefly explore what brings you to therapy and how I provide therapy. From time to time I have a couple of sliding scale slots for those who are economically marginalized on a limited time basis.
