Therapy is a great practice to remind yourself of the connectedness of the human experience and that you are not alone. With that in mind, research has shown the effectiveness of approaching the relationship between the therapist and a client from a collaborative standpoint is most effective.

All sessions at this time are $150/ 50 minutes

  • Individual Therapy - 50 minutes

    One-on-one therapy seeks to assist clients in processing any number of themes from stress and anxiety, to grief and trauma, and other life challenges. We will work collaboratively to help you better understand yourself and develop positive coping strategies.

  • Partner Therapy - 50 minutes

    Therapy between partners can be beneficial when dealing with issues of intimacy, desire discrepancies, conflict resolution and transitions in life. I also meet with extra-dyadic partners and those who practice consensual/ethical nonmonogamy.

  • Sex Therapy - 50 minutes

    One-on-one therapy with a sex therapist to discuss issues involving sex and sexuality. This includes sexual identification, and orientation, religious trauma and purity culture, sexual trauma and abuse, as well as shame and guilt. I consider myself a sex-positive sex therapist and welcome all sexual orientations.

  • Therapy Consultation

    I love connecting with other therapists. I understand graduate school can only prepare us for so much and have found that many therapists tend to avoid topics that are sexual in nature with their clients. With my added training as a sex therapist, I am available for consulting with other therapists on questions they may have regarding clients. Training on how to assess for sexual concerns as well as assisting in developing treatment plans for clients concerned about sexual issues is also available.

FAQs

  • A close friend of mine told me I would be good at it. Seriously. I started to look back on experiences in my life and realized I was always the friend people trusted with their hard and difficult. I took a human sexuality class in college and found myself sharing information at least once a week with others, so it felt like a natural transition. I also love to read and absorb information and as a therapist working with varied communities, it’s important to want to be a lifelong learner.

  • I think counseling can look different for everyone. Everyone walks in with preconceived notions about what it will feel like. I like to be present and hold space for others, and I may crack a few jokes in the process. For some people, it can feel like sitting with a good friend, and for others, it feels like being in the safety of a professional who knows how to help you process grief, anxiety, and transitions in life. My best advice is to be open to the process.

  • In many ways classic therapy and sex therapy are similar. A therapist, as well as a sex therapist, is specially trained to deal with highly sensitive conversations and themes. I also know that sex can be a part of life, but it may not be the whole picture. So while I am uniquely trained to deal with all issues regarding sex and sexuality, I am also first and foremost a clinical mental health counselor.

  • We live in a cis-hetero normative society where things like monogamy, marriage, and child-rearing are the expectation. I say things on my website like partner therapy, or that I am kink positive to let those individuals know I can uniquely tailor their therapy experience to them. I believe a therapist is both a helper and an advocate and I am honored to serve in those capacities for my clients.
