As your provider...
I believe therapy is for everyone and that it can address anything; there is no topic off the table! I hold the perspective that you as the client are the expert and know what is right for you. As your therapist, I will meet you where you are at and help you achieve your goals.
To foster you in your pursuit of growth, recovery, and wellness I will create a safe space and build a strong relationship with you. My approach has been described as warm, nonjudgmental, and individualized. I enjoy colorful language and encourage those that work with me to speak without worries about having to censor themselves. I utilize humor and creativity in my sessions.
My specialties include trauma, sex/sexuality, and substance use. I am trained in EMDR, TFCBT, and CPT to address trauma. I utilize harm reduction and motivational interviewing for substance use. I am currently pursuing AASECT certification as a sex therapist and will also receive special training to address things such as kink, nonmonogamy, affirmative care, achieving pleasure, and out of control sexual behaviors.
Let's get connected and so that you can be your best and most Authentic Self! I am so excited to be a part of your journey.
