I'm not taking any new chats at this time--thanks for understanding---


I have always been told that I am a sensitive soul. It has taken me time to understand that this sensitivity is a gift that I can share with others. As I have come to understand this about myself, and reflected on my own struggles my interest in entering a helping procession, such as therapy has only increased. While I'm still working on my own recovery, and still have a lot to learn, I try, in my spare time, to learn more about therapy, and how to help other people. I would hope that when people talk with me here that they feel accepted for who they are and where they are at in their own struggles. I believe that emotional reactions happen for a reason and are our mind's way of telling us something. It can be painful and difficult to decipher these emotional reactions and having someone who can listen to our struggles can help us tremendously with this process. I promise that I will always do my best to offer you sensitivity, compassion, and empathy.

I am also LGBTQ affirming person, and have a degree in Genders Studies.
