Message from Nannette: "I’ve made a commitment to working with the LGBTQ community back in the 90s when I lost my uncle to AIDS, I was in graduate school training to be a therapist. My son is gay, as a parent of a gay person I continue advocacy.

As a a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I’ve provided therapy for HIV/AIDS persons. I’m also a school counselor and have counseled young people with sexual/gender identity issues and helped parents as well. Helping recover from religious trauma is a large part of my work.
