Hi there! I'm Jude, and I'm currently a grad student. I've dealt with numerous mental and physical illnesses in my lifetime, and I've been in therapy myself for about twenty years now on and off. I believe that having an outlet to chat can be life-saving, especially for those dealing with unsupportive home lives. I grew up in a religious household that did not accept my queerness (I'm transgender and not straight), and that was abusive and neglectful, but as an adult, through coming out and dealing with my trauma, I've found a lot of joy and happiness. I'd love to mentor you if you're dealing with similar stuff, or even something totally different! Can't wait to meet you!
