I appreciate you taking the time to see how I can assist with your journey. As a sex therapist, I help clients understand themselves, their relationship(s), and the world around them. My clients are adults, individuals, and relationships seeking support. Focus areas are desire and arousal, gender identity, exploration, acceptance, life transitions, and trauma recovery. Many clients are living and learning in kink, ethical non-monogamy, and or a poly lifestyle. I provide care and a safe space to all clients who are cis-gender, transgender, queer, BIPOC, non-binary, and non-conformists, and I'm a Sex Worker - Affirmative Therapist.
I specialize in sexual health and non-traditional learning and living. These challenges can be connected to anxiety, depression, feeling isolated or misunderstood, fear of acceptance, and trying to understand yourself and the world around you. This journey can also be wanting to learn about more options to be your authentic self, or exploring options.
I look forward to working with you. I hope to help improve your outlook on life, or to lend a listening ear that will put you on a brighter path. This will be a journey. Therapy is not always easy, but it's always worth it if you're willing to put in the time and effort. If you've got questions, please don't hesitate to reach out for a consultation.
