The experience of being queer in the South can be an isolating one. Developing a sense of personal acceptance and an affirming community is essential to our long-term mental wellness.
PROVIDING LGBT ADULTS WITH AFFIRMING MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING.
It can sometimes be difficult to find a therapist who holds an open stance towards the nuances of the LGBT experience. Queer relationships can look different from cis/het ones, with unique rewards and challenges. Wherever you fall in the LGBT spectrum, you’ll find an open and accepting presence in the therapy room with me. I offer sex-affirming, gender-affirming therapy for adults who are queer or questioning.
COUNSELING FOR QUEER ADULTS IN THE CHARLESTON AREA.
COUNSELING FOR PARENTS OF QUEER KIDS IN THE CHARLESTON AREA.
As a parent of an LGBT child, you’re likely aware of the conservative-sponsored laws in this state and others seeking to delegitimize your child’s lived experience. Data demonstrates these bills have directly led to an increase in suicidal ideation among queer youth. Unless you’re queer-identifying yourself, you might find yourself feeling confused about the best way to support your child. My goal is to help demystify your LGBT concerns and focus on helping you create a safe, loving environment for your child.
