I love working with all different types of people wanting to change how they respond to life. My ideal clients want to learn how to respond to life, rather than react to life. The last four years have been hard and everyone can benefit from therapy. The couples I work best are seeking help with their sex life. A lot of couples I work with are also seeking help related to Polyamory/ENM and or Kink. I am happy to work with individuals, couples, and different and varying relationship designs and configurations.
I am therapist and a AASECT certified sex therapist with extensive training and experience in a lot of areas. I can offer CBT, Mindfulness Based Self Compassion and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I don't tend to stick to one type of therapy- I like to use what is going to work for your needs. I also offer clinical supervision.
The first step is establishing care with me, which is a 15-minute video consult to assess needs and talk. This is the best way to see if I am a good fit for you and answer any questions you have. Feel free to contact me via email or phone.
