My style is non-coercive, non-pathologizing, sex positive, and harm reduction based.
My passion is to help you uproot your trauma rather than just treat symptoms, which can feel unhelpful and frustrating. I work with Complex PTSD (cPTSD), attachment trauma, Women's Issues, LGBTQ+ identities, ADHD, late/self-diagnosed Autism, and Mental Health Professionals. Clients come to me feeling stuck, deeply misunderstood, repeating painful patterns, having had negative therapy experiences, feeling like nothing works, and spending years intellectualizing their emotions instead of experiencing them. My goal is to help you reconnect with self, strengthen your relationships, and feel more present and safe in your every day life.

Have your traumatic experiences left you full of anxiety, fearful of crowds, unable to trust people or even cause you to doubt your own decision-making? I get it! I often hear clients say, “something must be wrong with me", If I had just done it differently’?” My own experience with the military culture, DV, personality disorders, the tragic death of a spouse, breast cancer, divorce (just to name a few) drove me to become an expert in trauma and personality disorders to walk with others to help them find peace and empowerment that I have personally learned is attainable with counseling.

I focus on Process-Based Therapy (PBT). I treat the person, not the diagnosis. I look for the loop that keeps you stuck, then pick the tool that fits you. Change comes from a different experience, not just from understanding.

It's time to live the life you want to live - and decide what that life looks like. I see adolescents and young adults (13-35) and specialize in anxiety, LGBTQIA+ issues (including identity and family conflict), eating disorders, and chronic illness. Sometimes this might mean learning and practicing new skills to help you manage problems and obstacles; other times it may mean really exploring within yourself. Frequently, it means recognizing that negative thought patterns are getting in your way - and we can work together to find individualized solutions for you!

I enjoy caring for my clients, who struggle to feel loved and cared for daily. I work with individuals suffering from anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, major life changes, and couples and families who experience chronic relationship conflict. Many of my clients feel like their emotional needs aren’t being met. They feel guilty for wanting more in their lives and have difficulty advocating for themselves. I use EMDR, a structured yet flexible approach, to help clients process their trauma, reduce psychological distress, and promote healing and emotional well-being.

What if your anxiety, self-doubt, and exhaustion aren’t signs that something is wrong—but invitations to reconnect with your deeper self? The world feels heavier than ever. The pressure to keep up, the unpredictability of what’s next, and the demand to perform can leave you wondering—How do I move? Where do I belong? How do I reclaim my power? Feeling highly anxious/emotionally reactive/disconnected from your body can create cycles of overthinking, burnout, and self-doubt. You may find yourself “performing” success while secretly battling imposter syndrome and the weight of past experiences shaping how you move through the world.

Why might an individual want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
A sex-positive or kinky individual may want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist because the client may feel safer and more supported discussing their experiences and challenges. A therapist who identifies as kink-friendly will have experience with clients having diverse sexual preferences and will likely be nonjudgmental and supportive about issues brought to the table. It is important to note that sex-positive, kink-allied individuals may find equal success with therapists who do not have such specialized knowledge and background. The most important factor in the success of therapy is for the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond.
Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in sex-positive, kink-allied treatment?
Generally, no. There are limited training programs and unofficial accreditations that therapists can pursue, but a therapist’s expertise will ultimately come from their previous experience with similar clients, their engagement with organizations that promote sex positivity or kink-allied lifestyles, and the importance they place on safety and cultural sensitivity.
How can individuals recognize a good sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
An experienced therapist is able to help clients explore their sexual identity and expression and relieve any discomfort or stigma attached to discussing such matters and the client’s overall challenges. A therapist who is sex-positive and kink-allied is able to create an environment that honors a client’s experience and sexual preferences. To recognize a good therapist, clients can simply ask directly about topics and issues important to them and gauge their comfort level and connection with a clinician based on the responses.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist with a focus on sex positivity and alternative sexual lifestyles?
Some individuals may feel most comfortable knowing that the clinician they’re working with has a commitment to creating an atmosphere of sex positivity and has experience with relationship diversity and alternative relationship structures. Working with a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist may help clients respect their own challenges and improve identity-affirming treatment.
