About My Clients

I enjoy working with people who wish to understand themselves better on a sexual level. If you are someone who is working to unpack purity culture due to a religious upbringing, working to reclaim your body after a sexual assault, working through discrepancies in sex drives with your partner, working to have an organism, or you are exploring kink I would love to be the person who provides you with a comfortable and safe space to do so.

My Background and Approach

I have spent most of my life surrounded by people who are uncomfortable with or unwilling to discuss their bodies and sexual desires. This has always felt like an injustice as having a someone that you feel comfortable discussing sex with can be a very healing and enlightening experience. Our bodies and sex are inherent parts of self and I believe that your relationship to and understanding of your body is one of your core forms of knowing yourself. To understand your desires, or lack thereof, is to better understand yourself as a whole. You are unique and because of that you deserve an approach that is specific to you. I believe that everyone needs something slightly different from therapy and use an integrative approach with a focus on EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Somatic and Attachment Based approaches.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that one of the most important things that we as humans do is grow and change and I believe that you are capable of that change. We can pick up coping mechanisms in childhood and throughout life that may have served us at one time but can cause us more issues in the here and now. I would love to work with you as you figure out how to make those changes and have more fulfilling relationships, both with yourself and with others. I work hard to make my office a safe space for everyone as I believe that everyone has worth and deserves dignity.
