Have erotic and/or
sexual feelings for
more than one
gender?
Wonder if your
sexuality is just too
complicated or
conflicted to be safely
expressed or
explored?
Desire to have more
than one lover, or
alternatively, wonder
if being bi means you
cannot be
monogamous even if
you want to?
Feel you have to
choose between
being gay or straight?
Bisexuality, the ability to feel sexual and/or loving feelings for members of more than
one gender, is often experienced as the most difficult of the sexual orientations to
come to terms with. This, I believe, is due to the complex nature of sexuality generally,
as well as negative messages that bisexual individuals receive from dominant culture.
We are taught that healthy people "know what they want", can "make up their minds",
aren't "undecided", and can "make a choice". However, sexuality is often more
complicated than all that. Bisexual people may be attracted to people of different
genders in different ways, or at different times in their lives, or for different reasons.
The important thing to realize is that you don't have to choose unless you want to, and
if you are bi, you have been given the gift of the potential to have more loving and
experience than the average person.
I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience working in the
mental health field. My work is solution oriented and psycho-dynamic in nature, and
filled with humor, curiosity, and compassion for others. I am committed to assisting
those with gender variant identities in finding love, compassion, wholeness, and as full
a life as possible. I work relationally with individuals, couples, children, groups, and
other relationship configurations.
