When you’re facing so many changes and complexities at once, with old wounds resurfacing, it can feel really overwhelming and confusing. You might find yourself feeling reactive, edgy, harsh, hurried… not present and not quite like yourself. You want to get back to (or get to, for the first time) feeling more grounded, intentional, engaged, and able to navigate uncertainty with more ease. Therapy can help you slow down to make room for it all, so you can start sifting through the experiences and clarifying or unloading what you can. It’s a space where you can bring all of your experiences, emotions, and parts of yourself.
I work with LGBTQIA+ individuals (& allies/exploring), men, and clients seeking support around sexuality and sexual health. Some want a therapist who is comfortable with sex topics. Others want deep dives into sexuality and sexual health specifically. My approach is relational, flexible, and collaborative, ideal if you value partnership in therapy.
Through our work together, clients often experience meaningful improvements in their relationships and develop healthier connections where they feel truly seen, heard, and respected. They build greater confidence and self-acceptance, and a more nuanced understanding of themselves.
