Lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender issues
For many, identifying as non-heterosexual can be accompanied by much distress. Furthermore, pressure to find a label that fits can be overwhelming. I believe that sexuality exists on a spectrum and often the labels that are provided do not fit. I work with people who are struggling with their sexuality to help them feel comfortable with who they are, as well as with those who are experiencing difficulties with friends and family because of sexual orientation.
Additionally, LGBT couples can encounter specific issues. With a culturally sensitive and knowledgeable approach, I help them navigate and resolve these issues.
While living in San Francisco, I worked with many LGBT clients and gained significant experience helping in a number of different areas. Some of the issues I work with LGBT individuals and couples on are:
• Exploring sexuality and sexuality questioning
• Dealing with the coming out process
• Family of origin difficulties
• Dealing with discrimination
• Navigating alternative relationships
• Personal and professional relationship difficulties
• Family planning issues
