I see clients in UT (in-person and telehealth), CA (telehealth). It takes great courage to recognize when you need help and even more to ask for it. Even the strongest and healthiest need a trusted mentor, healer, and guide. Do you find yourself asking questions about sex, sexual health, sexual relationships, or intimacy? Do you feel you have a place to ask and explore sexual topics and understand your sexual body? Understanding this part of yourself is an essential aspect of your ability to relate to and interact with yourself, as well as to connect, relate, and interact with others throughout your life. Here is a space for you.
As a person-centered therapist, I consider each individual, couple, family and their insights and life experiences unique. Working together, I use a variety of therapeutic techniques that invite solution-focused results and incorporate the strengths of my clients. This is a team effort to self-exploration, discovery, and finding hope and optimism in life.
It is difficult to find a place of safety to explore your innermost thoughts and experiences. I believe your therapist can be an important guide. It takes great courage to dive deep, to get in close to your vulnerabilities - address fears, go into the darkness of the unknown, and walk around. Know that this is not a journey you need to take alone.
