My practice is intended for and inclusive of folks who identify as: LGBQIA+, transgender, nonbinary, gender-expansive, Black, Indigenous, POC, sex-workers, kinky, polyamorous, sex-positive, plus-sized/fat, disabled, and/or neurodivergent.
I identify as a Black, queer, woman (she/they/themme). As poly, kinky, & neurodivergent. And as a green-/kitchen-/lust- witch. And with the movement roles of guide/healer, the visionary, and the storyteller. I think of my practice as dual-focus: relationship-to-self (identity work) & relationship-to-others (relational work).

Sex and relationship therapy is a passion of mine, as I feel that consent and open communication are vital to healthy relationships and sense of self.
Relationships are vital to our existence, but sometimes we struggle to connect with ourselves and others in a way that supports our values and sustains the relationships that bring love, success, and connection into our lives. Whether you are struggling to connect with a romantic partner, or you've become so debilitated by anxious, self-defeating thoughts that social interaction feels impossible, I believe you have the power within you to change the way you connect to yourself and others. If sexual, emotional, or other barriers are stopping you from living the life you want, let me help you harness your inner strength.

I have training in trauma therapy, relationship therapy and sex therapy.
My work is relationally focused and I often utilize EMDR to help individuals resolve trauma that is being triggered in their relationships and change negative beliefs that are impacting their daily lives. I often work with individuals that are hoping to change behavior that is impacting their relationships and couples that are hoping to shift out of dynamics that are not working for them. I help individuals meet the goals that are most important to them, and I work to help improve the relationship of couples. I believe our partners can guide us to be our best selves, and show us what is unresolved for us from our history.

I have a comprehensive background in addiction, mental health disorders, sex therapy and couples counseling.
So you are looking for a therapist and possibly wondering “why should I choose this therapist over any other?” Good question. Once you’ve found a therapist with a solid background in what you want to address, it is all about therapeutic approach and personality fit (the elusive rapport). In our initial introductory conversation (15 minute call) you can tell me about what you are looking for, I'll tell you about myself, and we’ll see if I am a fit. You can also visit my website for more details on me and my practice: TherapistBrowell.com

As a sex therapist in training, I offer a sex-positive approach and warmly welcome LGBTQIA+, BDSM/kink, and ethically non-monogamous clients.
I love working with adult individuals, couples, and family members who are looking to grow and heal in ways that emphasize their unique human experience and authenticity. This might look like someone who is trying to forge a new path after being stuck in a negative pattern like codependency or perfectionism. It may be a couple who wants to improve communication or deepen their emotional or sexual intimacy. It may be family members who are hoping to resolve past issues to create space for more authentic connection. I tailor my approach to fit my clients' needs while providing a warm, compassionate space for exploration and growth.

Became a CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) in 2015: no longer credentialed.
Now licensed to provide telehealth in Texas, Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee as well as California. In my experience, approaching treatment with the dual aim of increasing insight and self-awareness as well as behavior modification and tangible goals yields the best results. I offer both reflective as well as pragmatic resources. If we decide to work together, we will identify the specific issues that brought you to seek help and keep your therapy focused on these issues. If you're stuck in unwanted behaviors, an unhealthy relationship, emotional ruts, or just stuck in yourself, let's talk and see if we might be a match.
