Sometimes life creates change when we aren't ready. You may find that life transitions have left you feeling differently than you expected, or you're discovering things about yourself that you aren't sure what to do with. Sometimes loved ones change in ways that challenge us, and sometimes we grow and hope our loved ones will grow with us. Sometimes LGBTQIA+ identities have specific needs, particularly for couples and families adjusting to newly expressed identities and searching for a healthy, supportive dynamic. Unfortunately, coping with these unexpected changes usually isn't a smooth, easy, or pretty process.
These experiences can be incredibly lonely when you don't know who you can turn to for support. I can offer you a safe non-judgemental space for you to grapple with these issues, as well as research-supported techniques and skills to help ease your burdens. It's important to me that you feel empowered and safe to share the most vulnerable parts of yourself.
I work with individuals ages 13+, couples/polycules, and small families. LGBTQIA+ affirming and identified. I offer some evening and weekend availability. I hope to hear from you soon!
