LGBT2SQIA+ Counseling

“I identify as BBGBC: Born Bi, Gay By Choice..”

-Rehor & Schiffman, 2022

We all identify with what feels right to us with some things not being by choice.  Luckily, LGBTQ+ people have been resilient creating chosen families and community that takes care of themselves. 

Need Help? I’d Love to speak with you

However, in society, we are still working to create inclusivity, understanding, and repair.  This leaves our community to look within ourselves for help when it comes to addressing queer issues, raising queer families, navigating relational issues, and identity/sexuality challenges that our non-LGBT2SQIA+ counterparts face.  It has been my mission to help the community through these challenges. 

-You have come to the right place-

Areas we can work on together are:

-Helping find your community

-Coming out (LGBTQ+, kinky, non-monogamy) yourself or your partner

-Starting to date or currently dating

-Managing unsupportive individuals in your life

-Needing support along your gender and/or sexuality journey

-Changing your identity/sexuality

-Needing repair from gay conversion therapy

-Having challenges (relationally or sexually) within your relationship

 -Struggling with monogamy or non-monogamy within your relationship

Signs that indicate it’s a good time to reach out for help are:

  • Feeling alone and misunderstood

  • Feeling overwhelmed and stressed

  • Feeling unsure and anxious about what to do

  • Feeling increasingly agitated and angry

  • Feeling unsafe and isolated

    -It Gets Better-

As an LGBT therapist, I understand the ongoing stressors and fears the community faces continually.  I am committed to helping clients of all genders, sexual identities, and expressions and have years of experience doing so.  I would be happy to start this new journey with you and help you get where you want to be.

-Build The Life You Want-
