QTBIPOC Therapy
I provide strengths-based, affirming therapy for Queer and/or Trans Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color.
If you are living at these intersections and struggling with your mental health, I aim to support you in a safe space that validates your experiences, strengths, and struggles.
I also explicitly recognize the role of systemic oppressions in harming QTBIPOC mental health.
Issues I work with include:
- Discrimination and microaggressions
- Sexual and/or gender identity exploration
- Navigating intersectional identities
- Relationship challenges
- Family conflict or rejection
- Trauma and PTSD
- Anxiety and depression
- Historical, generational, and inherited trauma
- Immigration stress and trauma
- Impacts of systemic racism and colonization
I collaborate with you to:
- Explore and understand the issues you face
- Help you connect with your strengths, agency, skills, and knowledge (which may be individual, communal, or ancestral)
- Support you in working toward meaning, a sense of connection and belonging, and healing
I offer QTBIPOC therapy because, as a queer woman of color, I care deeply about supporting clients who experience the chronic stressors of racism, queer- and trans-phobia, and other forms of oppression.
I aim to provide an explicitly decolonizing space that supports your resilience and healing.
