Are you feeling disheartened in your search for the right queer therapist? Does it feel like therapy is too formal or clinical for you to feel a connection with your therapist? Hi, I’m Karen, a registered social worker and psychotherapist. As a queer woman with lived experience, I know how important it is to create a warm, comfortable and safe space where you can be your authentic self in therapy. Together we can unpack your feelings and experiences and learn some new ways of coping. Let's connect, and move towards a life that feels good for you!
I am passionate about supporting 2SLGBTQ+ folx with their mental health and well-being. I work from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and intersectional lens. I'm a feminist and understand how important it is to talk about the impact of oppression and inequity on our mental health. I am trained in various modalities and integrate these when appropriate.
You don't have to go through this alone. Let me join you on your path and let's work together to find a way forward. I look forward to connecting with you over a free 20-minute consultation to get to know you and talk about what you are looking for. I am pleased to offer virtual support with flexible availability.
