Faith can be a source of comfort, guidance, and community, but when religious teachings seem at odds with your gender or sexuality, it can create deep internal conflict. You may feel torn between two important parts of yourself, struggling to reconcile your beliefs with your identity. This tension can lead to feelings of shame, isolation, or fear of rejection from loved ones or your faith community.
You may find yourself questioning whether you belong in your spiritual community or if you’ll have to choose between faith and authenticity. Perhaps you’ve internalized messages that make you doubt your worth, or maybe you feel like you’re constantly negotiating between different versions of yourself. This process can be exhausting, leaving you unsure of where you fit or how to move forward. But your identity and your faith don’t have to be in opposition—you deserve space to explore both without fear.
Therapy offers a space to process these challenges without judgment. Together, we’ll explore how faith and identity intersect in your life, allowing you to honor both your spiritual and personal truth. My approach is rooted in acceptance, helping you navigate these emotions with self-compassion while finding a path that aligns with your values and authentic self.
If you’re struggling to reconcile faith and identity, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Reach out for support in finding balance, clarity, and self-acceptance.
