I have experience providing talk therapy to sexual assault survivors. I also have experience working with women, men, couples, and LGBTQIA+ populations. My experience includes working with Post-Partum Depression, intimacy related issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal/relational issues, and day to day stressors. I am particularly passionate about working with Black and Brown people, fat folks (with a body-positive lenses), LGBTQIA+ identities, and non-monogamous/polyamorous communities. This is a kink, BDSM, ENM, and sex work friendly and affirming space for all people.
I have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Sex Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing. In the past, I was certified and passionate about providing doula services to pregnant folks. This assists my therapy services with parents and postpartum folks now. I often utilize humor and directness to assist my clients.
I utilize a strength-based, trauma-focused, and humanistic approach to assist clients in exploring the way their identities, past experiences, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors present in their internal and external relationship(s). I am committed to continuing education, diversity, social justice, advocacy, and sexual liberation for all people.
