Do you wish you had someone to talk to who won't judge you? Do you try to talk about things that bother you or make you anxious and people either don't listen or say you're overreacting? Are you hiding part of yourself because you are afraid of what people will think or say? Do you feel sad or like you don't care anymore? Do you just wish someone could help you straighten out your thoughts? Do you have issues from your past that are affecting your present? Do you just wish you liked yourself more? Do you just want someone you can talk to about anything? Do you want to see measurable results relatively quickly? Send me an email
I have experience with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, chronic pain, sexual issues, sexual trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, domestic violence, grief and non-monogamy. I am EMDR trained. I have completed a Sex Therapy Certificate and I am completing the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists Sex Therapy Certification program
I am not going to judge you no matter what you say in my office. I am also not going to make your decisions for you. I will help you break your problems into manageable pieces and we will work together on developing solutions. I believe the secret to mental health is accepting that we cannot control other people, we can only control our response.
