LGBTQ

Are you newly identified as or are  you a parent of someone who is gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender, queer, gender fluid, non-binary, poly, kink or questioning of their sexuality or gender?  Or have you proudly identified as an LBGTQ... person for a long time? In either case, the San Francisco Bay Area may seem like a safe place to march to your own beat and or figure that out.

Perhaps you have moved here in the past year or so and feel like an outsider. Maybe you've just broken up with a lover or from a long-term relationship and feel hurt and alone and wonder if you'll ever be in a healthy enduring relationship. You and your same-sex partner might be caught up in that same old dance of "I'm right and You're wrong" or " Why don't you listen to me" or "I'm just not _________ enough". Or maybe it seems like you're living parallel lives and feel too scared to talk about your disconnection though wishing to do just that.

Working together with a therapist well-versed in and sensitive to the concerns and struggles of the LGBTQ community can be a safe place to start integrating your strengths, vulnerabilities and longings to build the relational life you desire. Please contact me to talk about individual psychotherapy or couple therapy or relationship counseling. Secure on-line therapy available.
