Clients can benefit from exploring issues surrounding sexual orientation, gender identity, asexuality, polyamory and kink.

Together, we investigate the ways you relate to others, the ties in your history that inform where you are now, and how we can facilitate healing from past and current pain-whether that pain looks like depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual dysfunction, or discomfort in your sexual relationships.

We are innately wired for connection, intimacy + pleasure. However, these intrinsic values can be altered by experiences of trauma, physiological factors, + the environment.

A "desire line" is a phrase urban planners use to describe a foot path made by us – people walking over time, as we discover that any given sidewalk isn't the easiest, safest or most fun route to walk. Desire lines remind us that we are not alone in our feelings of discomfort, worry, and boredom, nor are we alone in our search for clarity, peace or pleasure. Desire lines are also a good metaphor for life. Maybe you, too, are on an unchosen or changing path and you're looking for a therapist to help you navigate new territory.
