Whether you or your loved one have a substance use disorder, a history of trauma, or experience high levels of anger or anxiety, there is relief, and I am here to help you. I also enjoy working with couples to navigate the many stressors relationships encounter and work toward a healthier and more fulfilling connection.

We, as human beings, crave connection and intimacy in our lives. We want to be seen, understood, and appreciated in our relationships with ourselves, the people we love, and the people who love us. Sex and sexuality are often at the root of these connections. Our perceptions of sex and sexuality are fluid and naturally change as we go through life. Communication surrounding consent, affection, sexuality, and intimacy is often avoided due to the taboo nature of sex. At Fluidity Counseling, we strive to provide a safe place to navigate through the shame and stigma that can accompany these conversations.
