My approach to therapy

Collaborative: I believe that therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and supportive. In our work together, I won’t pretend to have all the answers or know what is best for you. Instead, we will focus on ways in which you can connect with your own wisdom and healing.

Empowering: Through a combination of concrete skills, holistic approaches, and an affirming environment, you will be empowered to face difficult emotions and experiences, embrace your authentic self, and explore your sensuality and pleasure.

Authentic: I show up authentically and provide a warm and down-to-earth environment. I am not a blank slate in session. Instead, I laugh with clients, share my insights, sit in painful emotions with presence and empathy, and share in my clients’ excitement and joy when they meet their goals.

Holistic: In my work as a therapist, I have discovered that healing is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We all have different paths to healing. I will collaborate with you on your therapy journey and share holistic approaches and skills to help you on your path.

Trauma-Informed: I have extensive experience working with survivors of trauma. Together, we will work on creating a safe, empowering space that supports your healing.

Sex positive: Sexual healing can be transformative. I truly believe that there are so many beautiful, authentic, and powerful ways to express sexuality. There is no “normal” or “right way” for consensual adults to connect sexually. Your sexuality and sensuality will be welcomed and honored in session.

Body positive: I use weight-inclusive and Health at Every Size (HAES) principles. I will work with you to heal your relationship with your body and release shame and self-judgment.

LGBTQIA+ and gender affirming: I have supported LGBTQ+ folks around sexuality, identity, and relationships for more than a decade. Throughout our work together, I will affirm your gender identity and sexual orientation.
