Do you struggle to prioritize yourself? Are you having a hard time feeling accepted for your desires? Maybe you need an affirming space to explore yourself and your needs. Our therapeutic relationship can help you uncover parts of yourself you haven't been able to face, while giving you support to heal and grow. Additionally, as a sex-positive and kink informed therapist, I'm passionate about supporting individuals with alternative sexualities, erotic practices, and kink/BDSM interests. I believe in providing an accepting, compassionate therapeutic environment for all my clients.
My approach as a therapist is collaborative. I’m interested in working alongside you to meet your goals, make changes, and experience a more fulfilling life. I borrow from a variety of perspectives, including person-centered, depth, and mindfulness based approaches, in order to tailor therapy to your personality and needs.
Therapy can seem intimidating, but you are not undergoing this journey alone. I see us as a team, working together to discover and appreciate all parts of you. I look forward to exploring your feelings, fears, and desires with you.
