Compassionate Therapy for
LGBTQ+ Christians
Understanding the Unique Challenges
As an LGBTQ Christian, you may face unique challenges and conflicts between your sexual orientation, gender identity, and faith. Navigating these complexities can be emotionally challenging and isolating. Even more complex is that often each part of your identity has to be edited to fit one hostile environment or another. At Epiphany, I offer a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore and reconcile these aspects of your identity.
