Being an ally means not just accepting or being open to queer identities but also recognising and advocating against the systemic, structural, and cultural barriers that queer people face.

Outcomes of trauma therapy, although very subjective, should look like possibly being able to regulate emotions better, even if not completely negating triggers; at least learning to manage them better. They may also look like improved psychosocial adjustment, better emotional wellness, self awareness, acceptance of and openness to a wider range of emotions and experiences, and an expansion of the threshold or window of distress tolerance.

A typical session is one hour, and would involve exploration of your concerns. We will work towards goals that are meaningful to you. I believe that clients are the experts in their own experience so I would hope to facilitate a compassionate open conversation with you, to help foster insight and coping skills to manage distress.
