About My Clients
My clients are individual teens & adults as well as couples/partners. Many of my clients come in wanting to address anxiety, depression, life-transitions, self-esteem, self-doubt, gender identity, sexuality, relationship dynamics, ENM/CNM, communication, existential questioning, sexual trauma, other forms of trauma and chronic pain. I am also a sex therapist so many clients who come and see me are looking for a sex positive, warm and nonjudgemental space to talk about their relationship to sex.
My Background and Approach
I often incorporate mindfulness and somatic (body-focused) exercises as those exercises aid in reducing pain, regulating emotions, fostering a sense of safety in the nervous system and releasing the stress (and trauma) held in the body. My therapeutic approach is very collaborative. Some styles of therapy I tend to incorporate are Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Somatic Therapy, Strength-based therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Problem Solving therapy and Sex Therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a queer, trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I enjoy working together to deconstruct the social scripts, pressures and ‘shoulds’ that often get in the way of our growth, healing and liberation. With that breaking down comes the fun and challenging part of self-discovery, curiosity and imagination - to explore your underlying needs, your values and what excites you.
