Greater community awareness and acceptance of the LGBTQIA2S+ community has lead to many of us coming out after living as hetersexuals for many years of our lives. Coming out later in life can be filled with complicated emotions of ranging from joy and excitement to grieve and fear. It forces many to deal with internalized homophobia and even spiritual trauma. Let me walk with you on your journey to finding who you are and building a new life. As a late in lifer myself, I have been through a similar journey and can support you as a peer coach as you meet your new self and your new community.
