I'm terribly saddened that OG bisexual and biracial activist Lou Hoffman in Minnesota passed away on Monday. We were roomies at the inaugural White House Bisexual Community Roundtable in 2013, and though I didn't get to spend a lot of time with her because it was a very quick trip, I found her to be a very genuine and down-to-earth person. I also know of her legacy as a longtime board member of Bisexual Organizing Project and Co-Chair of BECAUSE (which I presented at in 2007) which has created so much joy and community for thousands of bi+ people for decades. I found the 2nd photo of her online with another OG, ABilly Jones-Hennin who died last year, and hope they're hanging out beyond the rainbow together. 💕🌈 💕

Who's going to GLMA in Minneapolis? I'm excited that Dr. Danielle Samuel and I are co-presenting "Cultural and Clinical Implications for Working with Bisexual, Pansexual, and Fluid Women" to an audience of LGBTQ+ medical and mental health professionals. We're looking forward to discussing bi+ women's unique health concerns and ways to become a more bi-affirmative clinician. Hope to see you there!

I made a Bi on Love album of me with my first serious boyfriend, my first serious girlfriend, another boyfriend, and another boyfriend, my now wife, and lastly, my le***an wife being a bi+ ally. There aren't enough representations of a bi+ individual having relationships with multiple genders and STILL IDENTIFYING AS BISEXUAL so that's why I made this compilation. I'm bi in all of these relationships, despite them being mixed orientation relationships, meaning that my partners are monosexual (gay or straight).

I was out to all of these partners and they were 100% accepting, respected me identifying as bi while in the relationship, supported my bi+ advocacy, and attended bi+ community events with me. They were true allies.

Bisexual, pansexual, and fluid individuals deserve to have monosexual partners who are true 100% allies.

We deserve to fully bring our bi+ identities into our relationships, be they monogamous or non-monogamous.

We deserve to be fully seen for all of our angles, not just the "gay part" or the "straight part."

We deserve to be whole.

We deserve to be loved.

Bi+ people who have LGBTQ friends are more likely to come out, so that's why it's so important to find community. Studies show that bisexual people are less likely to be out to the important people in their lives than gay and le***an people are. That may be why we are the majority of the LGBTQ community yet you may not actually know of lot of bi+ people.

There may be many reasons that a bisexual, pansexual, or fluid individual may not come out, but research shows that having more LGBTQ friends does correlate with being more out.

That is probably because having LGBTQ friends decreases that person's sense of shame about being q***r and increases their sense of social support and self-esteem about their identity.

Having LGBTQ+ friends means you have a safety net, a chosen family, in case things get tough.

It means they might share tips for coming out, dating, etc., and help "show you the ropes."

It means you are not alone.

It means you have community. And we all need that.

I totally forgot my 2 year anniversary of Living In Color Therapy! Time just flew by but it's already been 2 years of me blindly leaping from my full-time job to launching my private practice - I say "blindly" not because I did it without planning but because I quit my job first and then started my practice, which is not how most therapists do it. But circumstances at the time (therapist burnout, taking in 2 foster kids) created that situation and here I am now, with a nice caseload of clients that I specialize in and a healthier work/life balance overall which is a continual work in progress for me!! 😁😁😁

So what do I do? I'm an experienced psychologist specializing in LGBTQ+ and BIPOC identities, healthy relationships, social anxiety, inadequate friendships and community, family conflicts, and body image. I see individuals, couples/polycules, and families and offer in-person and virtual sessions to clients in California. I work from a feminist, seggs-positive, LGBTQ-affirmative, and anti-racist lens and I'm knowledgeable about polyamory/ethical-nonmonogamy, kink/BDSM, and neurodiversity.

I'm also the creator of Bi on Life, a self-empowerment series for bisexual, pansexual, and fluid individuals, and have a part 2 called Bi on Love, and a part 3 called Bi on Leadership. I also offer individual coaching on coming out and building your village.

Outside of that, I supervise therapists in training as the part-time Program Coordinator of the LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy Center at Airport Marina Counseling Service and I'm adjunct faculty in the MFT Program at USC. I love teaching and training as much as I love being a therapist.

My community advocacy is going on 26 years and I'm currently the Co-Founder and Board Member or the Los Angeles Bi+ Task Force, Chair-Elect of Division VII: Diversity & Social Justice Division of CPA, and I'm on the Expert Review Board of Fluid Health. I do speaking gigs all over and you might see me at a venue near you!
