We explore how to grieve the process of not being who we thought we should be or what others may expect, while moving towards self love and acceptance. As I gay male I can emphasize with ideal self images and how conditions of others can immobilize us. We can start to grief expectations of who we thought we should be, and move us forward to empowerment and life meaning in process work.

Our practice centers on creating a safe and affirming space where individuals can explore their identities, experiences, and challenges within a supportive and understanding environment.

Our therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and a deep appreciation for the diverse and complex experiences of queer and trans individuals. We believe in the power of community care and strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where clients feel seen, heard, and valued for who they are.
Through a combination of relational therapy, somatic techniques, and trauma-informed care, we guide clients in navigating issues related to gender identity, sexual orientation, coming out, family dynamics, and societal challenges. We recognize the importance of addressing the intersectionality of identities and experiences within the LGBTQIA+ community and work to empower individuals to embrace their authentic selves and lead fulfilling lives.
Our practice is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to feel accepted, supported, and validated in their journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. We are passionate about fostering resilience, healing, and empowerment within the LGBTQIA+ community, and we are committed to providing affirming and compassionate care that honors the unique experiences and identities of each individual who walks through our doors.
