Great to meet you!

Feeling safe enough to be authentic is the cornerstone of therapy. Helping you develop this safety is my goal until you feel comfortable addressing your: current symptoms, thought/emotional systems that affect these symptoms, and reactions to these systems; barriers are processed as needed to develop broad and lasting growth. I understand that your living situation impacts you deeply, and incorporate these aspects into our work in order to create goals that realistically fit within your life. While I work with all populations, my focus has been on providing sex-positive and kink-informed services to the LGBTQIA+ population.

My approach to therapy

Therapy is a group project. Sessions focus on understanding your experiences, collaborating on actionable strategies, increasing insights into personal patterns, and developing grounded goals that we take steps to achieve. I utilize CBT, ACT, and insight-oriented modalities to help you achieve this growth, while tailoring my approach to fit your needs/wants.

What you can expect from me

I understand that reaching out can be intimidating for numerous reasons, confronting these barriers is an act of bravery. A free 15 minute consultation can help you decide if I am a good fit, while minimizing feelings of obligation and time/financial costs. Feel free to email me with questions/concerns about services as well. I hope to hear from you soon.
