About My Clients
I work especially well with high-achieving or caregiving adults who hold everything together for others but feel burnt out or numb inside, survivors of complex or sexual trauma wanting to reclaim their bodies and sexuality, individuals navigating desire differences, sexual pain, shame, or identity questions, LGBTQ+ and/or kinky or nonmonogamous clients seeking a nonjudgmental, knowledgeable space.
My Background and Approach
My background and approach are grounded in trauma and sexology. I am a licensed mental health provider with advanced training in trauma-focused therapy and clinical sexuality, and I am currently completing doctoral work that keeps me closely connected to current research and best practices in these areas. My clinical experience spans work with adults navigating complex trauma, sexual trauma, relationship distress, and the impact of cultural and religious messages on sexuality. In our work together, my style is warm, direct, and collaborative. We move at the pace of your nervous system, not anyone else’s timeline, combining grounding skills, nervous-system education, and attachment-focused exploration with open, shame-free conversations about sex, intimacy, and relationships. I draw from trauma-informed, attachment-based, and sex therapy frameworks, always translating concepts into practical language and concrete tools you can apply in your daily life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Clients deserve spaces where all parts of them, including their trauma history, identities, desires, and relationships, are welcomed without shame or judgment. I believe people make sense in context: your nervous system, culture, family, and lived experiences shape how you cope, and those adaptations are not “weakness,” they are survival. I also believe healing is relational and embodied; insight matters, but so do safety, connection, and what your body feels is possible. Around sex and relationships, I believe there is no single “right” way to be. Diverse sexualities, relationship structures, and desires can all be healthy when grounded in consent, communication, and care. My role is not to decide what your life should look like, but to support you in building a life and relationships that feel aligned, honest, and truly your own.
