Honored to have been asked by Taimi LGBT+ Dating App to write this article on domestic violence in LGBT+ relationships! Even though it's no longer Domestic Violence Awareness Month, this topic is still incredibly important for everyone to be aware of and supporting victims.

October was Domestic Violence Awareness Month across the United States and internationally to unite survivors and resources, as well as hold space and remembrance for victims. It created an opportunity to talk openly about intimate partner violence, recognize those who’ve struggled under abusive r...

I am so honored that my company LGBT+ Counseling Collaborative now joins Wanda Alston Foundation as a partner to open our first ever DC office and help bring free and low cost therapy to DC residents! This is especially meaningful to me because the Show Me Love campaign focuses on bringing healing to q***r survivors of intimate partner violence as we wrap up Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Thank you to the incredible people who helped put this together! We’ve been working on it for months and are so excited it’s finally here! Ben, Cesar, you’re a dream team to work with.

I am so proud of my team and the tireless, hard work they do serving clients. Every therapist and staff member on my team is a rockstar and I couldn’t be more honored to have their trust and support!

Love to all ❤️

My favorite moments as a mother…caressing her head as she falls to sleep. Because she finally shut the f up.

Jk I love her mouth and it’s 100% my genetics 😆 but man do I love laying with her as she feels safe enough to fall asleep ❤️

Today is —an annual day to wear purple to recognize and support survivors of domestic violence and intimate partner violence.

No one is immune to finding themselves in abusive relationships, even us therapists. They don’t come with warning signs or fortune telling, and it’s human to want to give third, fourth, fifth chances. You can be anyone with any background and any knowledge and still find yourself in domestic violence scenarios. You can be brave, strong, sexual, open, out, q***r, straight, anything… and still find yourself in abusive relationships. You can keep going back to your partner and struggling to leave, and still be in an abusive relationship. You can be gaslit and not supported by your abuser, the law, a judge, or other people in your life and still be valid in what your experience truly was. If there’s anything we’ve learned from Cornell (5)7, it’s that the world, the law, and systems in power do not support victims.

None of that changes that you are valid—you are a survivor.

Today we honor and respect victims, push back on invalidating and oppressive systems, and embrace ourselves in our healing journeys.

I’m a survivor. I’m a healer.
I’m here to listen. I believe you.

Find more resources with our partner Wanda Alston Foundation on their Q***r Love Shouldn’t Hurt campaign at q***rlove.org. If you’re looking for a therapist who specializes in this, we’d love to help at LGBT+ Counseling Collaborative as well.

Today is National Coming Out Day, and the first time I heard the word le***an, I was a little kid and Pastor Abraham at our church was shouting at my father that he wasn’t a Godly enough man if he had a daughter like me who “seemed like a le***an.” He told my father to make me different, and my father would spend the rest of our relationship trying to make me someone I’m not.

Coming out as a le***an took so long for me because I knew I’d lose my entire family—my foundation of where I came from, my history, my siblings and parents. And I did. I still get occasional “we’re praying for you” messages, but no actual love, acceptance or care.

Instead I have these crazy people (and more) who fill me and my children’s lives with so much joy and love, I forget they aren’t biological family. They’ve shown me and my daughters the meaning of family in ways blood never has.

Everyone knows “blood is thicker than water,” but the real phrase is “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”—which literally means chosen over biological any day, every day.

I’ve been coming out again and again from as young as I can remember. I’ve only been publicly out for a little over 3 years. THREE YEARS. I’m 37.

This day matters because I hope no one has to wait until they are 34 to live an open, authentic, loved version of their lives. I’m going to open .dmv with the same mission—safe, brave spaces.
