Great to meet you!

I offer a strength-based, & person-centered approach, which focuses on everyone’s unique strengths & self-determination. I utilize empathy, openness, & curiosity to assist my clients to gain self-awareness, re-envision their purpose, & achieve new insights. I employ evidence-based intervention, which includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, & mindfulness practices. I provide a supportive space for clients to begin their journey of personal reflection & healing.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am passionate about creating a sex-positive space & strive to normalize all topics around sex. We are born sexual beings, but most of us have had difficulty with exploration & understanding that part of ourselves. I strive to help couples/ individuals build stronger relationships, improve their sex lives, & achieve a heightened level of intimacy.

What you can expect from our first session

I will work with you to create a space to be curious about your sexual identities and strengthen that piece of you either individually or as a couple. I have experience working with adults, couples, and non-monogamous people struggling with communication issues, sexual issues, queer and trans identity development, body neutrality, and self-esteem.
