My Approach
My approach is client centered and strengths based. I am here to collaborate with you individually or with you and your partner(s) to help reach your goals in a way that feels good for everyone. When working with couples or polycules, I aim to help deepen your intimacy and satisfaction by providing tools and techniques to improve communication, build a foundation of trust, and change the current dynamic. I will give home assignments to help you practice what we discussed in therapy throughout the rest of the week. I work through a trauma-informed, Queer, and Feminist lens, centering the fact that our environments, society, culture, and experiences have deeply affected the way we show up in our lives.
I am no-bullshit and aim to challenge my clients. Together, we will uncover where you are feeling stuck in sexual and romantic relationships and create a game plan for how to move forward. We'll discuss your unique experience of sex and sexuality, and co-create what you want sex to mean to you in the future.
My Modalities
I pull from a variety of modalities for each client, but some of my favorites are:
-
Attachment based therapy - Rooted in the belief that your early attachments to family and caregivers deeply affect your current attachments, especially your romantic relationships
-
Relational therapy - This approach believes that one’s emotional well-being is built on mutually satisfying relationships. It centers social, cultural, and familial relationships.
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - What we think, feel, and believe are all closely connected, and CBT aims to help unwind the persistent negative thought patterns affecting our lives.

-
