About My Clients
You're looking for or curious about sex therapy, for any sexual issues or just exploring your sexuality. Need support in your intimate relationship(s), especially LGBTQ+, Kink, BDSM, Sex Work & Non-Monogamous folks. Want to get better at feeling your feelings or feel less overwhelmed by them. Relate to being empathic or sensitive and feel burdened, isolated or ready to nurture these qualities. Feeling a draw to connect or re-connect with your spirituality, your personal way, not how you "should"
My Background and Approach
My practice is inspired by and utilizes both my personal and professional experience. My strength naturally and professionally is emotion focused. I like for us to be collaborative, with you being the expert of you and me being a supportive guide. Talk therapy alone can be limiting, so I like to introduce somatic (body focused) elements, expressive arts, intuitive practices, community outreaching, and referrals for supplemental supportive services. We'll work together to help you: Identify emotional patterns that have you feeling distressed and/or isolated. Address and respond to current life stressors. Develop a personal wellness practice that tends to your emotional, sexuality, relational and spiritual needs. Connect to your pleasures, desires and goals. Establish a supportive community/networks.
