Queer Counseling

 

I provide queer and gender affirmative therapy to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) individuals & couples in the East Bay Area, Oakland, and Berkeley.

In a safe and affirming space I collaborate with you on goals related to:

  • Discrimination, Guilt, Shame & Internalized Oppression.

  • Queer Parenting, Fertility Treatment, and Family Planning

  • Coming Out

  • Relationship Challenges

  • Premarital Counseling

  • Family Conflict/ Rejection

  • Rejection From Religious Communities, Conversion Therapy Trauma, Spiritual Growth

  • Developing more security in poly/open relationships!

  • Cultural conflict, including Middle Eastern, first and second generation immigrant family dynamics

  • And other issues you might be facing not directly related to being LGBTQ+

As a queer-identified therapist, I can understand the harmful impact social oppression and discrimination can have on you, and I can also appreciate the ways you have learned to survive and thrive in this world.

I also facilitate queer process therapy groups where you can learn powerful tools to build resilience, develop greater self-acceptance, and connect with others on similar journeys.
