Humans experience emotion. We experience conflict. We experience pain and trauma. Though normal and common, all of these can disrupt or make it extremely difficult for an individual to meet their goals, have healthy relationships with ourself and others, or even make it through the day. These challenges can be isolating and can make anyone start to feel hopeless and hesitant to reach out for help. I encourage you to reach out anyway. Healing takes time, work, and honesty and it is worth it.

We are evolving people living at the intersections of multiple identities. To discover our own power within our identities, we have an opportunity to learn more about who we are and how we relate.

I would love to learn more about your story.
