I am a sex positive psychotherapist offering trauma-informed Telehealth sessions to couples, families, polycules, and individuals in California. My practice is affirming and supportive for gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity (GSRD) from early adulthood to later life. With a nurturing and non-judgmental approach, I empower people to explore their desires, overcome obstacles, and create fulfilling relationships. I aim to provide a grounded and warm space for folks to explore the parts of themselves that are challenging to sit with alone. I am kink affirming, queer affirming, and non-monogamy affirming!
No topic is "too much" in my therapy room. I move with you at your pace and take care to incorporate your feedback into our sessions. I will meet you wherever you are and take your lead. I embrace a "here and now" gestalt approach while incorporating evidence-based practices such as the Gottman Method, CBT, DBT, and internal family systems (IFS).
I know it can be really challenging to know if a therapist will be a good match just by reading website content. Please reach out and book a free consultation. On our call, you'll have a chance to get a better sense of the therapy I offer and how I might be able to collaborate with you on your healing journey. Looking forward to speaking soon!
