About My Clients
I have been working with the queer and sex positive communities for over a decade: queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, LGBTQIA2+, kinky, non-monogamous, ENM polyamorous and sex workers. I also work with couples, polycules and queer families. I provide assessments for gender-affirming surgery, and no one is turned away for payment reasons.
My Background and Approach
If you’ve been looking for a therapist to discuss sexuality with, I might be a good fit for you. I am a certified sex educator, and I’m nearly impossible to shock or scandalize. I take a customized, eclectic approach, largely focused on narrative therapy and DBT. Or maybe you want support and strategy around life stress, mental health, relationship challenges, etc. – and you want someone who won’t judge your relationship, gender identity, orientation, or sexual practices in the process. Since 2014, I’ve also been training other therapists on how to support folks whose gender, sexuality and relationships don’t fit society’s norms. I also supervise two other therapists who have similar areas of competence and approach, so if I don't have a current opening, it's likely one of them will. I know it can be horrendously frustrating to find a therapist who's a good fit, so I also always make an effort to thoughtfully refer out if I'm not a good fit.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I pride myself on creating safe spaces - especially for folks who find themselves marginalized from mainstream spaces. I take a non-judgmental approach, and am focused on collaborating with you to ADDRESS problems, rather than being DEFINED by them! Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about my background, education, experiences, or perspective. Here's a bit more about my approach: Therapeutic approaches: * Non-Judgmental * Narrative Therapy * Sex Positive & Sexual Justice * Feminist * Mindfulness * DBT Skills * Anti-Oppressive Approach: anti-racist, anti-ableist, anti-fatphobic, pro-sex worker…and constantly learning more to decolonize my mind and my therapy office!
