Support for LGBTQIA+ Community

Figuring out who we are, our identity, is one of the most important challenges any of us will face during our lifetime. Navigating rigid expectations, disapproval, or negativity from loved ones can complicate, stall, or derail this process altogether. The fear of rejection is very real and can prompt us to stay hidden or pretend to be someone other than who we are in order to please and stay connected to those we love and value. Wherever you are in the process of defining your sexuality or gender identity, I will provide a safe, affirming, and accepting place to explore how you wish to move forward. Fortunately or unfortunately, there is no set protocol to go by, but we will always move at your own pace. You may decide to be vulnerable with a friend or loved one and their response is judgemental. You may also come to find that you kept a potential ally at a distance due to the same fears. Wisdom, experience, and understanding may be hard-won along your journey, but worth it for the authenticity and freedom that comes in the end. I am happy and honored to help provide support in any way I can during the process of defining your identity, the coming-out process in the face of family or societal pressures, spiritual exploration, resources for medical transition, and relationship health. You know you best and I trust you.
