LGBTQ+

Stomach churning… heart racing… pores oozing with self-hatred…

Growing up in a world designed for those who are cisgender and straight…

Trying to connect with others while disconnected from yourself… it’s no surprise that your relationships are failing. I’m sure you’re ready to bond with others and end this daily nagging loneliness.

You want life to be different, but every time you think about what changes you want and how to go about it, everything feels murky and confusing.

“How do I figure myself out? There aren’t any role models in my life, and everywhere I turn, bigotry pops up. I like awake at night… overwhelmed thinking about tomorrow.”

Spiraling deeper into isolation…

Trying to ignore or outrun these thoughts and feelings won’t work. It will push you farther from your loved ones and closer to your deep inner ache.

You want community and connection, but how can you let others in when you don’t like yourself?

“I just want to be me, but first, I have to figure out what that looks like.”

Space and time just for you…

We’ll discuss how you got to this place. Understanding your story, we’ll decide on goals and craft a plan that will take away the power certain thoughts and feelings have over you.

I will see your value, and I’ll help you see it, too. As you see yourself being accepted – flaws and all – your opinion of yourself will be forever altered.

During our sessions, you will start to feel more connected to your ideal self. I will help you develop a natural kindness and curiosity toward yourself. Through a mixture of warmth and logic, I can help you see yourself through a new lens.

As you meet your therapy goals, we will make a plan for you to have the connection and support you need as you move on and graduate from therapy. We’ll grow your social circle and connect you to the individual and community supports that you need.

As you express difficult thoughts and tender feelings, they will diminish.

As you share your pain and self-hatred in a supportive environment, you will feel it lift.

As the pain gets lighter, your acceptance of yourself will grow.

It’s time to say goodbye to isolation and solitude.

There’s no need to keep suffering alone. It’s time to reach out for help. Making this call is the first step to giving yourself the love and care you need to heal.

Acknowledging you need help takes courage. Deciding to call me takes courage. But you can do it!

Give me a call today to see if we’re a good fit, and I hope to join you on this journey of embracing your true self: (507) 216-0106
