Are you struggling with LGBT+ related concerns? Are you struggling to come terms with your LGBT+ identity and/or struggling to find a way to move forward as an LGBT+ person? As a member of the LGBT+ community I am passionate about serving the LGBT+ community. Is a loved one of yours an LGBT+ member and you are struggling to move forward? accept? and/or want to reconcile with your LGBT+ loved one? Being LGBT+ can be hard in our society and it can help to talk about these experiences. Being fearful of our LGBT+ loved one's safety and well being can be stressful as well. If you feel like I can be of service I would be happy to help.
Throughout my career, I have helped individuals and families with concerns such as gender identity, sexual orientation, LGBT+ related stress, LGBT+ relationships (extra), mood disorders, anxiety related disorders, trauma/PTSD, and attachment disorders. I have over 13 years of experience working with youth (age 8 and older), adults, and families.
I have experience helping parents and/or loved ones of the LGBT+ community move forward in a healthy manner. I have focused on helping LGBT+ community and their loved ones find peace in difficult and tough environment. I take a compassionate and understanding approach to your world both inside and out. If you feel I can help please feel free to contact me.
