Like it or not, we all spend most of our time in relation to others. Whether with coworkers, friends, family, or even roommates, we have lots of different relationships. Often, these relationships can also be the source of many of our stressors. While these relationships absolutely affect us, they do not have to define us.
I integrate various models and theories including aspects of Bowenian, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to assist clients in identifying and changing the negative beliefs and cycles which keep them trapped. I help clients find new ways of relating in order to both be authentically true to themselves while also connecting with others in their lives.
I seek to create a compassionate environment that encourages a safe space for the exploration of relational patterns and a deeper understanding of oneself and others. My clinical areas of specialty include anxiety, communication, relationships, sex, and sexuality.
My training focuses on issues regarding relationships, communication, attachment, and sex therapy. My goal is to provide a space where clients can feel supported to explore their emotions, values, and beliefs as well as learn to identify and express needs and desires.
I am knowledgeable and affirming of diverse and alternative genders, sexualities, and relationship styles. I specialize in providing counseling for individuals, couples, and pods who are polyamorous, LGBTQ+, and/or kinky.
