Oftentimes, we have a hard time recognizing the patterns and systems we fall into. My role is to help you identify those as a curious observer. I like to ask questions that require my clients to turn inward and explore themselves in a deeper capacity. I utilize reflection and summarization of your own insight and experience in order to help you identify barriers that may feel insurmountable on your own. My goal is to create a space of radical acceptance, honesty, and healing in order for you and I to work together to dismantle those barriers and move toward living the life you desire.
The approach I use in therapy is rooted in trauma-informed and client centered methodologies, and I value a relational style of therapy. My specialities include working with clients experiencing anxiety & depression, symptoms of trauma, body image, identity struggles, and significant life changes. I work with couples on building strong communication, conflict resolution, fostering intimacy, and navigating polyamorous or non-monogomous relationships. I am also pursuing further education and supervision in Sex Therapy and enjoy working with indivduals and couples around shame & guilt surrounding sex, communication regarding physical desires & fetishes, and navigating kink/BDSM dynamics.
