About My Clients

Shame expert, Brené Brown, puts it like this: “Shame loves secrecy. When we bury our story, the shame metastasizes.” You’ve been told that your gender, your sexuality, and even your sexual desires and fantasies are shameful, leaving you feeling isolated and trapped and unsure where to turn. You experienced trauma that continues to affect you and your life making you feel weak, powerless, and ashamed. Let me help you find the freedom, connection, empowerment, and acceptance to thrive in life.

My Background and Approach

I know that old traumas and “taboo” topics are often ignored or suppressed creating space for shame, so I prioritize making my space affirming, safe, and comfortable regardless of kinks/BDSM, sexual experiences, gender, sexuality, and relationship style (poly, c/enm). I understand how much you need that space to heal and explore yourself comfortably and without judgement. I approach therapy with the understanding you are the expert on yourself; you know you the best, and I will follow that lead and provide support using my training and understanding of the healing and growing process. I will pull from various modalities based on how you conceptualize yourself and the world around you to bring you skills and tools that work best with your brain--that might look like parts work, trauma-focused techniques, CBT and DBT skills, psychodynamic exploration, and/or sex therapy and education, all depending on and tailored to your needs.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe absolutely anyone can heal, change, grow, and find new levels of self-acceptance, joy, and peace in their lives. I love watching people heal and grow into self-acceptance and empowerment to find ways to thrive in their lives. Whether it’s overcoming sexual trauma, exploring your sexuality and/or gender, or navigating life’s many other hardships, I believe we all deserve a space to explore, unpack, and find freedom and empowerment in these difficult and often shamed aspects of life. Everyone deserves kindness, love, and support on their roads to healing, recovery, and joy. Request a consultation now to start your journey.
