Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm Dr. Spooner (she/they), a radical clinical social worker and AASECT-certified sex therapist dedicated to helping individuals liberate themselves from shame and stigma surrounding their sexual preferences, identities, and orientations. My approach is grounded in intersectional and antiracist principles, recognizing that many challenges stem from systemic oppression and marginalization.

My approach to therapy

I am a warm and engaging therapist who believes that humor and laughter (when appropriate) can be some of the best medicine. I'm honest and direct while also being encouraging and compassionate. Life is hard enough; you need a therapist who can provide you with a safe and judgment-free space to discuss whatever is on your heart and mind.

What you can expect from me

When working with me, you can expect to fill in educational gaps from poor or nonexistent sexual education; identify and/or reconnect with personal strengths; develop additional insight; and acquire the necessary skills to manage internal and external challenges.
