Grief and loss, childhood emotional neglect, domestic violence, and many other challenges and transitions in life affect how we see ourselves and the world we live in. It can lead to powerlessness, hopelessness, unspeakable pain and suffering, shame, emotional upheavals, and/or loss of sense of security. Yet all we seek is the ability to find peace, acceptance, and a strong connectivity with ourselves that lead to better connections with others. We want to be able to clear our view to ultimately see our deeper and meaningful purpose in life. I believe we have the innate capacity to achieve these.

After a grueling day at work, you eagerly head to dinner with the girls, craving fun and laughter. Torn between the menu options, you order multiple entrées, planning to take leftovers home. Workplace stress invades your mind as you eat, and soon, every plate is spotless. Determined not to let this spoil your night, you hit the dance floor, catching the eyes of some guys. Excitement turns to self-doubt, and you retreat to the restroom. Driven by shame and guilt, you purge your dinner, hoping to expel unwanted emotions. With your throat burning and stomach empty, you return to your friends, masking the emptiness inside.

Do you have a teen that identifies somewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum? Knowing how to best support and show up for your teen can feel overwhelming at times. You love your kid unconditionally, but maybe this all feels new to you and you’re not sure what questions to ask or where to start. Or, maybe you’re a queer parent yourself and are looking for a therapist for your child who you can trust to respect and affirm your family.
