My Approach to Helping

I help people navigate sexual concerns and challenges that are impacting their relationships and overall well-being. I work from a lens of social justice, inclusion and pleasure activism with an emphasis on decolonizing sex and gender. I prioritize mutual respect and trust, allowing us to co-create a safe space for self-exploration, understanding, and ultimately a richer, fuller, and more authentic life. My therapeutic approach is holistic, considering the interconnectedness of physical, emotional and relational well-being. I utilize evidence-based practices and draw from attachment theory, cognitive-behavior therapy, mindfulness, emotion focused therapy, and sex-positive frameworks. I tailor my techniques to each client's unique needs, goals, and comfort level.
