The clients I work with are at a turning point, finally ready to stop outsourcing their sense of self to systems, relationships, or identities that were handed to them. They come to us carrying a lot. Religious shame. Late self-discovery. Relationships that need tending. A sexuality they've never had permission to explore. At The Expansive Group, we don't just help people cope, we help them reclaim. Through therapy and coaching, we walk alongside clients as they figure out who they are when nobody's watching, and build lives that actually fit.
I specialize in sex and relationship therapy with a focus on queer identities, religious trauma, and the shame tangled up in both. My approach is trauma-informed, somatic, and narrative. We look at the stories you've been told about yourself, your body, and your relationships and rewrite the ones that were never true.
If you've spent years wondering whether there's a space that could hold all of you, I want you to know that space exists. You deserve care where you walk in and something in you just exhales. Whatever brought you here, that instinct is worth following. I'd love to hear from you.

My approach draws from a range of evidence-based modalities but what matters most is how they work together. Expect sessions that honor your body, your story, and your relationships. We might explore patterns, rewrite narratives, or simply slow down enough to hear what you've been carrying. The goal is care that feels like it was made for you because it is.
