Sometimes there are parts of ourselves, our desires, or our pasts that are difficult to share with others. This could be because of a lack of acceptance or support in your social world, and could be related to feelings of fear, shame, or disgust. I work with clients to build a relationship in which it is safe enough for clients to bring disowned parts of themselves into compassionate awareness as they develop a sense of wholeness. Throughout this deep internal work, I ask curious questions about environmental factors in order to facilitate liberation from internalized oppression and self-blame.
I use a compassionate, playful, and collaborative approach to connect mind, body, and emotion in the context of your environment and history. A lot of my work centers around trauma, gender identity, sexuality, kink, and polyamory. I work with individuals, couples, intimate networks, and families in which one or more members are transitioning or coming out.
If you would like to begin or continue your journey of healing and self discovery, and join a movement toward collective liberation, please email, call, or text me. For a taste of how I guide clients through exploratory processes, read this career counseling article I wrote for sex workers. https://affirmativecouch.com/is-sex-work-right-for-me/.
