Hi there, thanks so much for being so brave and choosing to come to 7cups to chat. I am here to listen to you without judging and to try to guide you in the best possible way so that we could resolve whatever issue you might be having or discuss what's on your mind.

I am a full-time psychology major attending a university in the Pacific Northwest with plans on pursuing a career as a mental health therapist.

Because of my own experiences, history, and knowledge about LGB and T individuals, I plan on especially focusing my work on working with gender and sexual minorities (especially relating to issues of depression, shame, suicidality, gender expression, gender identity, and transition.

I want you to feel comfortable talking to me about anything, and I promise to try not to be condescending or invalidate your feelings.

Please note I have not received any official training or licensing as of yet, so none of what I say is professional opinion.

Personal history:

Depression, Anxiety (GAD), social anxiety, suicidality/suicide attempts, experienced close suicide loss, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, grief, disenfranchised grief, transgender (FTM), queer/gay, insomnia, relationship issues, family issues.
