Therapists in Fullerton, CA

I work with adults and young adults who identify as QTPOC, Non-Monogamous, Kinky, and/or those that are a part of the adult entertainment industry. Within these identity categories, I have specific experience helping folks process around marginalized experiences, microaggressions and trauma, navigation of medical transition services, and communication about their relationships and identities.

I look forward to journeying with you to a place of happiness and good health.

You're not exactly sure why, but sometimes you feel alone even when there are other people around. It's overwhelming navigating through shame and trying to find self-acceptance. Maybe you are feeling as if you don't know exactly who you are and are having difficulties with your relationships. Or maybe that you lose yourself in some relationships. Either way, you feel an emptiness that seems like no one else will understand. Despite not knowing exactly how to shake this feeling, you know that it's time for change.
