About My Clients

I have developed comfort and knowledge when working with people who have experienced trauma and are neurodivergent. I have experience working in the sexual health field and have worked with many women who experience vaginismus and are preorgasmic, among other diagnoses. Some populations I have experience with include trans folks, sex workers, gender non-conforming folks, people involved in the kink community, and polyam couples or individuals in poly relationships.

My Background and Approach

I have found that a positive relationship with one's body is essential for stable mental health. I am an affirming and inclusive provider for all folks and all bodies. I embody health at every size principals and welcome all. We can work together to strengthen your mind/body connection and express yourself to your fullest potential while maintaining safety. Building trust is necessary to developing a positive relationship and I am here to support you!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strongly in the therapeutic alliance. Though I may be educated in mental health, my clients are experts in themselves, and we enter the therapeutic space, together, as equals, with a common goal. I enter every session with empathy, patience, and curiosity.
