Shame expert, Brené Brown: “Shame loves secrecy. The most dangerous thing to do after a shaming experience is hide or bury our story.” You’ve been told that your gender identity, your sexual attraction, and your sexual desires and fantasies are taboo, wrong, and shameful; I'm here to help dismantle this message. If you're struggling in your sex life or are trying to have better partnered sex, we can unpack, process, and heal from the things that are getting in the way. Let’s lift that weight to help you find freedom, connection, empowerment, and acceptance in your relationships, sex life, and with yourself.
Old traumas and “taboo” topics are often ignored or suppressed creating space for shame. I prioritize making my space affirming, safe, and comfortable regardless of kinks/BDSM, sexual experiences, gender, sexuality, and relationship style (poly, c/enm). I understand how much you need that space to heal and explore yourself comfortably and without judgement.
I love watching people heal and grow into self-acceptance and empowerment to find ways to thrive in their lives. Whether it’s finding out you CAN have great sex, accepting your sexuality and/or gender, or learning to thrive in your life, I believe that everyone deserves a hand on their road to healing.

I tend to be a good match for those exploring their gender/sexuality, healing from sexual issues or old trauma, and building self-esteem. We'll work together to create goals for therapy, develop new skills, and increase insight and awareness of the internal systems at play to find healing and growth. Most people see an improvement within the first 10 sessions with continued progress thereafter.

My foundational type of therapy is Person-Centered, meeting people where they are and encouraging them to work with their strengths to find solutions and improvement. However, I am eclectic in the way that I will pull interventions from other types of therapy as necessary to offer potentially more efficient paths to healing and treatment.
