Great to meet you!

Hello there! As a counselor, I work with individuals and couples to navigate challenges, offering a supportive space for healing and personal growth. My approach is attachment-based and trauma-focused to help clients process their life experiences. I support clients through challenges such as identity exploration, societal changes, and relationship dynamics. I approach therapy from a sex-positive, kink-allied perspective, focusing on fostering healthy sexual expression, consent, and emotional intimacy.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is client-centered, collaborative, and grounded in both attachment theory and trauma-informed care. I believe that healing and personal growth occur within the context of safe, trusting relationship with both oneself and with others. I strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences, identities, and relationships.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will help build a strong foundation for our work together. I will begin by sharing about myself as a professional and outline what you can expect from the therapeutic relationship. You will be welcomed to ask questions. We will discuss your motivation for therapy and identify barriers to success. While your comfort and safety are my top priorities, I encourage you to share what you feel ready to discuss. We will outline our goals and create a plan to achieve them.
