About My Clients
Sex and relationships are tricky. There are no perfect answers and our perceptions are framed by our experiences. Finding it difficult to make romantic connections? Not on the same page with your partner about sex? Unsure of what you desire and how to get it? I provide a safe space to help couples and individuals talk openly about sex, desire, connection and find solutions using a mixture of evidence based and alternative approaches.
My Background and Approach
I have received training in Gottman Couples therapy, Attachment trauma, and am pursing certification in sex therapy and couples counseling. I have worked in private practice, a university and a tech company. I don’t have all the answers as you are the expert of you. I ask exploratory questions about family relationships, experiences, thoughts, feelings, desires, and inquiries about body sensations. I provide thoughtful reflections about what you've said, concrete suggestions and sprinkles of humor. You'll gain new ways of thinking about yourself and your relationships.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am strength based, direct, affirming, fascinated by culture and history and how it shapes our beliefs, feelings and behaviors. As a young person, I was amazed by the Real Sex TV show and by sex educators Dr. Ruth and Sue Johanson and wanted to be like them. As a Black woman who grew up in White environments, I look for ways to see myself beyond the surface and love learning about things seen as "other". So I've deepened my knowledge about the world of kink, polyamory and sex positivity. In the past, I volunteered at LGBTQIA+ organizations and worked in nonprofits and in criminal justice reform. As client, I used therapy to explore family conflicts, attachment trauma, understand what I wanted in relationships and gain clarity on my intersecting identities. As a therapist, I believe in seeing clients holistically and value our connection, which is why I don't take insurance.
