Below are an incomplete list of topics I would enthusiastically tackle with you as you navigate your sexual identity:
Self reflection and knowing one’s self
Managing conflict with family, friends and work
Coming out
Embodying your true self
Inclusive and medically relevant sex education and harm reduction
Advocating for yourself
Navigating changing desire
Changing relationship dynamics
Knowing what you want
Facing and Embracing desire
Communicating desire and needs
Unlearning sex negativity and shame
Critically looking at narratives you have internalized around intimacy
Talking to partners about your sexual health needs and boundaries
If you are looking to support someone you love in this process but it is bringing up some difficult feelings for you, you deserve support too. I can provide space to process your thoughts or feelings, explore new parts of your identity or consider how a partner’s identity impacts your own. I can help guide you to tools and exercises that will allow you to self regulate and provide the best support to yourself or partners. If you are in need of support navigating a partner’s identity, please see the list below of just some of the topics we could explore together:
What does this mean for my identity?
Honoring your feelings and finding support
Communicating with your partner kindly
Advocating for your partner
Navigating changing expectations
Finding resources and education
Unlearning sex negativity and shame
Critically looking at narratives you have internalized around intimacy
I also sometime offer groups for various identities to help you find community and peers as an additional support network. Here is a list of group offerings:
[some groups are still in the development process, I would be happy to work with you or your community to customize it to your exact needs]
