About My Clients
I am a licensed mental health counselor following my passion in helping individuals and couples to heal their relational wounds, self-actualize, and shape lives of growth and meaning. I treat clients of all identities but have additional expertise in non-monogamous, kink-identified, and LGBTQIA+ populations. I have specialized training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Imago, sexuality, trauma, BDSM and kink, polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships, and IFS.
My Background and Approach
I have spent much of my adult life in creative communities aligned in non-monogamy, kink, and queerness. I have also made a professional study of relationships, sexuality, alternative lifestyles, trauma, and mindfulness. This knowledge has allowed me unique insights, which have in turn influenced my therapeutic work, gifted me a window into those worlds, and allow me to better hold compassionate and empathetic space for my clients. Although my clients may come from a wide range of relational, gender, and sexual identities, each individual is unique and seeing the world with an open mind is the only way to truly see others. When we are held in the safety of being fully seen and heard, that is when we can come into alignment within ourselves to do our best self-work.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Most of our struggles are relational in nature. When we heal our relational wounds, we can step into the self-actualized, meaningful, joyful lives we dream of. We all sustain traumas which shape our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world. When we can understand our protective systems of behavior we have the opportunity to update our narratives, unburden our traumatized parts of self, heal attachment wounds, and make room to relate from our place of highest self. We can learn new skills in communication, somatic regulation, mindfulness, self-actualization, and more fully build the life which best serves our continual growth.
