Experience in LGBTQIA+ Counselling
Many of us enter into therapy with a variety of negative experiences with family, friends, faith communities, and education. I pride myself on demonstrating respect for diverse identities, providing support with social and personal challenges, helping you to learn adaptive coping skills in the face of minority stress to achieve positive mental health outcomes to enhance wellbeing, resilience and overall functioning.
As a member and advocate for inclusivity and belonging, I take pride in my extensive experience working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Your identity is cherished and respected, and I am dedicated to creating a therapeutic space that celebrates the authenticity of who you are.
