My Approach to Therapy

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work best with relationships. I'm most passionate about working with intimate partnerships, no matter their status or structure. I have a special interest in working with non-normative relationships (non-monogamy, polyamory, kinkBDSM). On an individual level, I love working with sex (erotic energy, desire, etc.), sexual orientation, and gender (identity and expression). Pretty much anything that intersects with sexuality is my jam, normative or otherwise. Above all, I believe that each person is the expert of their own lives. I consider it a privilege to bear witness to your story. I offer a space where you can be, first and foremost, human. You may be seeking therapy for a specific reason or concern, or maybe you're just a person trying to exist in this messy, beautiful, chaotic, wonderful, and sometimes really painful world. No matter your situation, you will find a space to explore, heal, and grow. In my office, you can be vulnerable, courageous, and more without fear of judgement. I welcome folks of all genders, all sexualities, all partnership models, all family structures, all racial and cultural backgrounds, all levels of physical and mental ability, all educational and class levels, all sizes, and all spiritual beliefs.
