Therapy is hard work. Acknowledging the challenges, I embrace the potential for healing and personal growth. At the core of my therapeutic approach, I prioritize honesty and a non-judgmental attitude on the journey toward well-being. My clients often seek support for various challenges, including anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, and a desire to explore a more fulfilling way of life. Through collaborative therapeutic methods, I maintain a sense of curiosity and unwavering compassion, holding a space to explore hurt parts of self and work towards your version of wellness and wholeness.
I offer therapy with expertise in: LGBTQIA+, sex therapy, couple therapy, sexual trauma, chronic pain and chronic illness, sexual health in recovery, substance use and pathways towards wellness (using Harm Reduction), Health At Every Size, non-traditional relationships, persistent and chronic mental dysfunctions, somatic expression of trauma, and more.
I incorporate psychoeducation and skill-building (when needed) for enhance coping capacities, and focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship rooted in regulation, exploration, and promoting trust. When contacting me to be put on wait list, let me know: your insurance (or private pay), your availability, and if seeking virtual or in person therapy.
