Essentially my goal as a culturally aware LCPC and AASECT certified sex therapist is to help people navigate their relationships with themselves, others, and their identity. I want clients to be able to see themselves in me and feel understood by someone who can relate. I have 18 years experience with LGBTQIA+ issues, individuals & couples. As a Lesbian Woman, the issues of the community are of great concern to me. I am a proud Kink, BDSM, polyamory affirming Psychotherapist. I bring a honest and open approach to therapy while helping you find hope. I truly work to meet you where you are and create a space where you are safe.
I utilize techniques that help clients understand themselves, their feelings, and their relationship in a way that improves their lives, using Gottman and PACT methods. A supportive and practical approach is used to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. Compassion and understanding is used to help clients build on strengths
I understand the uniqueness to each individual and work to accommodate clients to ensure optimal treatment. I try to be flexible in my time both in the office and even by text and phone. I recognize the importance of work life balance and the lives of working adults who often need evening and weekend availability. I want to be a support in a tough time.
