About My Clients
I work with clients who may be struggling with relationship issues, physical/mental/emotional intimacy issues, or individuals who are struggling in their day-to-day lives from emotional or mental distress. During our initial sessions, we will explore how you perceive the problem at hand and break down those stories to see how they serve you. I believe you are the expert in your life and will provide a safe space for you to grow, learn, heal, and evolve.
My Background and Approach
My therapeutic approach is rooted in humanistic and person-centered principles, where I prioritize the inherent worth and potential of each individual. I believe in meeting you where you are on your journey and providing understanding as we explore how you think, feel, and act. I use the Narrative approach and explore what your experiences mean to you and base treatment around those stories. I also borrow from other approaches such as Internal Family Systems to explore different "parts" of you, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist you in pointing your thoughts and feelings in specific directions, or Emotionally Focused Therapy to understand your core truths. As a couples and sex therapist in training, I am passionate about supporting clients in embracing their sexual identities without judgment or shame. I approach sexuality from a holistic perspective, recognizing its integral role in being human by impacting overall well-being, personal growth, and connection.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have been with my partner for 16 years and while we have innate chemistry, people naturally learn and grow over time, making it imperative to know how to value your partner and have constructive conversations, whether they are hard or not. I believe that with communication and leaning into your values/strengths, we can create a space for you and your partner to understand each other on a deeper level. Intimacy can come in a few forms, emotional, mental, and physical. By understanding your own needs and the needs of your partner, it can provide you both new information on how to move forward. Sex is rarely just about sex, the underlying meanings that you place on physical intimacy is important throughout your lifetime. Let's work together to understand what your personal brand is.
