About My Clients
My clients range in many different areas, whether it be gender, sexual orientation, race, paths of life, or values system. The common thread between most of us, despite our differences, is the desire to be seen and heard--accepted for who we are at our core. Many of us have been taught that pleasure is not for us-- that our needs don't matter. I aim to help people understand their worth, learn to communicate needs, and explore parts of themselves they might have silenced long ago.
My Background and Approach
Creating a safe space for my clients to share without judgment is the most important part of the therapeutic practice to me. I lean towards a collaborative and person-centered approach, but I am not afraid to dig into deeper work when my clients are ready. My style of therapy is integrative with an attachment-based foundation and a passion for parts work. The therapy I provide is rooted in trauma-informed care, is LGBTQIA+ affirming, welcoming to Poly/Kink/ENM, sex worker, and alternative lifestyles. Black Lives Matter.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Every person, regardless of their background, deserves a chance at a better life, whatever that means for them. I have been active in the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as the Black Lives Matter movement. I've struggled with my own mental health for many years and have found a way to lead a happy and fulfilling life through therapy over time. I believe challenging the patriarchal scripts ingrained in our society is important for all genders and beliefs, especially when working with those who struggle with pleasure and desire. We all deserve to have a pleasurable life, whether it be having our sexual needs met or learning how to rest in a capitalist society that teaches us that rest means we are lazy. This life, this body that we reside in, we only get one go at it (maybe) and we were not put here to try to fit the mold of beauty and success that was scripted for us. We can learn how to undo the toxic beliefs and patterns we've been conditioned to follow together.
