About me
I am most interested in working with those clients who are entering counseling seeking sex therapy. Though I treat most issues, I would love to focus on your intimacy, identity and sexual-relational needs as an individual, couple or poly, through a sex positive, integrative theoretical lens.
I actually am most curious about YOU! Why now? What brought you into therapy at this moment in your life? I would be more than happy to share my background and approach with you during our session. But the better question for our work together is not what I can do for you, but what are YOU seeking most from ME? What are your best hopes from our work together? Since our work begins and ends with your set vision and goals for the outcome, I operate less as a director and coach, and more as a witness to and support of your evolution and change.
I am in this field to make changes to how things have been done to date. Somehow SEX, our most basic primary human experience known to all who have ever existed on this planet, has historically been absent from the therapy room. We have work to do in our field and my hope is to forge a new path in therapeutic care that is sex positive, welcoming and accepting, embracing all relationship models and gender and identity expressions to feel safe, seen and heard. It is time for us to come out of the proverbial closet and openly discuss those topics that have always been regarded as most taboo and shameful in our social establishments and system. In order to create the fullest, most vibrant and authentic version of ourselves, it's time to start confronting those darkest and deepest parts within ourselves, wrapping our therapeutic arms around them and showing them the love, support and value that they deserve.
