Bio

I'm attending graduate school for a Master's in Mental Health Counseling and hope to become a counselor who specializes in working with LGBTQIA+ youth. I know the difficult journey towards recovery as a queer person, and I want to be an empathetic support for others as they seek wellness and acceptance.
