Whether you are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other concerns, you deserve a therapist who will be open and supportive yet willing to challenge you gently when needed. With an approach that combines connection and boundaries, we can work together to help you find the agency you need to move through life with pleasure. I specialize in working with BIPOC, LGTBQIA, Polyamory/Non-Monogamous, and Kink/BDSM communities to provide comprehensive, evidence based, trauma informed, sex positive therapy, that meets the needs of sexual marginalized populations.
I want to understand your personal context, within larger systems and communities; at the intersections of your social identity. I use therapy techniques including Mindfulness, Contextual and Attachment-Based strategies to provide you a culturally competent space to process and reflect, to gain knowledge of attachment patterns, and to focus self-agency.
I am primarily available to see clients via Teletherapy with limited in-person availability. This provides me with more flexibility to work with you and help you along the way. If you would like to schedule an appointment with me please email and I will respond shortly. “The shareable is bearable” -David Siegel
