Clients often come to me because they have experienced trauma or relational challenges that have them feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Whether navigating the complexities of non-monogamy, figuring out relationships in the context of your sexual or gender identity, struggling with communication and conflict, working through relational traumas, or trying to achieve more sexual fulfillment, you deserve a therapist who is competent and respectful and who will partner with you in your work to be a happier human. That is what I strive to do.
I'm a sex positive and secular therapist strongly who believes in the healing power of relationships. My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and honest. I work with individuals, couples, dyads and polycules, blending methods like IFS, Imago, and behavior therapy to tailor an approach that considers the unique strengths and challenges of each client.
It's totally normal to feel nervous or unsure about reaching out to a therapist. I strive to listen with openness, respond with genuineness, and meet you where you're at. If I don't think I am the best fit, I will tell you that and help you find someone who is. I welcome you to reach out and ask questions. I look forward to getting to know all parts of you.
