So. You think you might be Queer.
Realizing that you experience same sex attraction, gender dysphoria, or other experiences falling under the LGBTQ+ umbrella can feel scary.
I’m here for you.
No matter where you are on your journey, whether you wish you didn’t feel these feelings or are proudly living out of the closet, I’ll meet you where you’re at. My goal is to be the person I needed when I first came out to myself.
College Freshman ‘Manda, back in ‘07
I know what it’s like to be all in on following Jesus. On knowing the Bible inside and out.
And I know what it’s like to realize you’re attracted to people of your same sex in a context where it feels like there’s no one in your community to talk to about it.
I have good news:
You’re not alone.
How Can I Help?
Head Knowledge
As a highly educated and academically published Biblical Scholar, I know the Bible inside and out. If the Bible is important to you or your community, I can help you explore your various identities, both as Christian and as Queer.
Heart Knowledge
As a holder of a Certificate in LGBTQ Ministry, I am equipped to provide pastoral care to the full range of the LGBTQ+ community, whether that be folks who are “Side B”/not affirming all the way to folks who fully live into their various identities.
My Guiding Philosophy
My guiding philosophy is to practice radical acceptance across deep difference. I trust the Holy Spirit to work in people’s lives, and while I am fully affirming, my goal is to understand and meet people’s needs, not to control how people act or what they believe or to mandate how they should live.
Again:
I’m here for you. How can I help?
Who Can I Help?
I serve primarily college students and young adults in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, California, who are or have backgrounds as Evangelical Christians.
