Years of practice have convinced me of one quiet truth: most people already know what they need to say. They are waiting for a room where saying it finally feels possible. I began in university counseling, sitting with people at the exact moment their old certainties gave out, and it shaped my patience with uncertainty. Today I work with adults whose racing mind treats every open question like an emergency. I am Muslim, and clients who share that background often feel real relief at not having to explain it; those who do not share it are just as welcome. As a lesbian, I feel a special protectiveness toward anyone finding their way through a gender journey. I pay attention to whose comfort you were taught to protect. With me you can think out loud, contradict yourself, and change your mind; reflection needs room, and I guard that room carefully. If this is the pace you have been missing, I would be glad to hear from you.
