LGBTQ+ Youth

 

A core focus of my work is supporting LGBTQ+ young people. I meet them wherever they are at on their journey through their own process of exploring and coming into their authentic selves, and support them in moving past any obstructions that are interrupting their access to joy and fulfillment. Whether these obstacles are:

  • anxiety

  • the coming out process

  • depression

  • dissatisfying substance use

  • family struggles

  • the feeling of "otherness"

  • navigating gender-affirming interventions

  • relationship issues

  • self-acceptance/self-compassion

  • sex/sexuality issues

  • social, cultural, religious struggles

  • social isolation/withdrawal

...I seek to collaboratively identify and move through that which gets in the way of living the life one seeks. Depending on the age and situation of the LGBTQ+ young person, collaboration with parents and/or other caregivers may be a helpful addition to this work we do together.

If you are interested in working with me, please do not hesitate to contact me to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.
