Therapist Overview
Do you feel as though you lack confidence in your ability to express yourself in relationships? Are you having a hard time finding affirmation and support for your needs or desires? Maybe you feel inauthentic in your roles or relationships and uncertain in your ability to change these uncomfortable aspects of your life. The therapeutic relationship can provide an affirming space for you to build confidence in yourself. It can be a place to explore your needs and wants and develop strategies to align yourself with them. I am a relational therapist who seeks to develop a collaborative, affirming connection with each of my clients. I work to understand the intersecting identities of each individual and to develop a growth-fostering relationship from which you may grow to desire more connections with a greater sense of clarity and joy. I work with individuals and relationships on challenges associated with sexuality, relationships, addiction, anxiety, and depression. I welcome individuals from LGBTQIA+, poly, and kink communities and take an affirming stance when working with individuals who do sex work. I often work with people who have a histories of trauma and addiction.
