You might deal with these tensions by hiding parts of who you are from others.

Maybe you’ve coped by revealing your faith identity to your church community while hiding aspects of your gender or sexuality from them. You may have additional support for your gender and sexuality from LGBTQ+ affirming friends and community, but you feel you need to hide aspects of your faith in those contexts. It creates a disjointed sense of identity.

…Or you may have coped by shutting down an entire portion of your identity for the sake of remaining connected to your community. Unfortunately, this discretely fosters internalized hatred towards the parts of yourself that you’ve kept hidden.

If this is you: you need a place where all aspects of who you are are welcomed and celebrated in one space.

A note on LGBTQ+
affirming therapy

Often folks express valid concerns about what type of counseling I offer for LGBTQ+ individuals. Historically, faith-based therapists unfortunately engaged in an abusive practice called conversion therapy, designed to suppress one’s gender or sexual identity in order to align with traditional faith teachings. Even though this practice is illegal in the state of California, many Christian therapists are still engaging in this practice under other names.

To be clear: I am staunchly LGBTQ+ affirming. I seek to help you find alignment across all aspects of your identity - not to change who you are.

I help you identify your core values and beliefs so you can live a life that reflects who you are and what you value.
