Description
Whether you're navigating coming out, managing family or cultural expectations, or simply looking for a space where your whole identity is seen and understood, this group offers connection, validation, and concrete strategies for thriving.
This group focuses on strengthening identity clarity and self-acceptance—honoring the intersection of queer identity with racial, ethnic, and cultural background. Together, members will build skills for navigating identity-related stress, including rejection sensitivity, internalized stigma, and the pressures of concealment. We'll also work on strengthening relational safety: setting boundaries, making thoughtful disclosure decisions, and repairing relationship ruptures.

You’re carrying a lot — stress, unanswered questions about who you are, patterns you’re ready to break. I see you, and I’m here to help you move forward.
As a South Asian, Ace-Aro, and Muslim Licensed Mental Health Counselor with Diagnostic Privilege, I bring warmth, cultural humility, and a deeply human approach to therapy. My style is often described as a “warm campfire” — inviting, grounding, and a space where you can finally exhale. I help clients process the past, navigate identity and stigma, and build the resilience they need to show up more fully in the present.
I specialize in supporting clients with:Anxiety and chronic stress
Life transitions and identity exploration
Trauma and grief
Loneliness and relationship challenges
Career and life purpose
LGBTQIA+ affirming care
Cultural identity and stigma
