Are You Struggling to Find and Embrace Your True Identity?
If you're part of the LGBTQ+ community like I am, you know how complex navigating identity can be. Whether it's questioning who you are, dealing with societal expectations, or feeling like you're constantly fighting to be accepted, it can feel exhausting. You're doing your best to figure out who you are, but the pressure to fit into boxes — or fear of being judged or rejected — can leave you feeling isolated, anxious, or like you're never truly being seen for who you are.
Sound familiar? Maybe you’ve been wrestling with questions about your identity, struggling to find where you fit in, or dealing with the pain of not being accepted by family, friends, or society. The weight of carrying that can be overwhelming, leaving you disconnected from your true self, feeling like you have to perform or hide parts of who you are.
What If You Could Fully Embrace Your Identity?
Now, imagine what life could look like if you were able to fully embrace who you are. What if you could live your truth, proudly and unapologetically, without feeling weighed down by fear or doubt? What if the anxiety about fitting in or being accepted no longer held you back, and instead, you felt free?
What if you could:
Stand tall in your identity and express yourself without hesitation.
Let go of the fear of rejection and start embracing acceptance — from yourself and others.
Build deep, meaningful connections with people who truly see and celebrate you for who you are.
Heal from past wounds and create a future where you feel proud and confident in who you are.
It’s possible to move from questioning, fear, or shame to a place of pride, self-acceptance, and joy. You can be fully yourself without compromising any part of your identity, and therapy can be that safe, supportive space where you begin that journey.
“You have to believe that your truth is worth sharing.”
The Struggles of Living Authentically
There’s a lot that comes with being LGBTQIA+ — the joys of self-discovery, community, and pride, but also the challenges of fear, rejection, and self-doubt. Maybe you've been told you need to "tone it down" or "fit in." Maybe you're constantly scanning your environment, wondering if you're safe to be yourself, and that anxiety is wearing you down. Maybe you've internalized the message that who you are is "too much" or "not enough."
It’s tough. The journey of figuring out your identity can feel like walking a tightrope between authenticity and safety. On top of that, you might be dealing with issues like family rejection, discrimination, and even internalized shame — things that no one should have to carry, but here you are, shouldering them every day.
“I’ve never been interested in being invisible and erased.”
I’m here to help you navigate these challenges, heal from the pain you’ve carried, and guide you toward living authentically as your truest self. You don’t have to keep hiding or pretending to be someone you’re not. In therapy, we can work together to create a space where your identity is honored, explored, and celebrated.
Here’s how we’ll get there:
Exploring Your Identity - We’ll create a space where you can safely explore all the aspects of who you are — without judgment, without pressure. Whether you’re questioning, coming out, or figuring out what feels right for you, we’ll dig into the parts of yourself you want to reclaim or better understand.
Healing from Rejection and Trauma - Let’s face it, being LGBTQIA+ often means dealing with some heavy shit — rejection from family, bullying, or even just the fear of not being accepted. Together, we’ll process these experiences, work towards healing, and help you build resilience so those old stories no longer define you.
Building Self-Acceptance - Self-acceptance isn’t just about saying, “This is who I am” — it’s about truly believing it. We’ll work to challenge any internalized shame or fear and replace it with self-compassion and pride in who you are.
Creating a Life That Honors You - Once we’ve built that foundation, it’s time to look at the life you want to create. How can you show up more fully and authentically in your relationships, career, and daily life? We’ll figure out what truly matters to you and make a plan to honor your values, passions, and identity every step of the way.
This is about more than just “figuring yourself out.” It’s about reclaiming your voice, your truth, and your place in the world.
