Christian Counseling for LGBT+ Christians and their Families

Individual and Family Therapy Services

As a culturally competent psychotherapist, I provide research supported strategies for treatment of mental health symptoms and examine how symptoms interact with one's personal identity, culture (assigned ethnicity vs. ethnic identity), sexual orientation, gender identity, regional culture (suburban, rural, urban), spirituality, ​areas of privilege and lack of privilege, and childhood upbringing​

• Coming out to Christian parents, siblings, relatives, congregation members

• Fluctuations in connection with God, congregations, scriptural text, and spiritual practice
  
  
• Managing the intersection of racial identity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and religious identity
  
  
• Oppression, rejection and isolation within the queer community based on one's Christian faith
  ​
• Internalized homophobia, negative self-talk, and self-punishing behavior
