my Mission
Welcome to my therapeutic space, dedicated to fostering sex positivity and inclusivity for individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds. I offer a range of services including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, addiction recovery support, and mind-body/somatic interventions, all within a sex-positive framework aimed at empowering clients to reclaim their sexual health, balance, and confidence.
CBT is utilized to address unhelpful thought patterns related to sexuality, while mindfulness and body awareness techniques promote a more attuned and enjoyable sexual experience. For couples, I integrate elements of the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to enhance understanding and communication, vital for a fulfilling sexual relationship. These approaches are tailored with sensitivity to the complexities of sexual identity and expression, ensuring a respectful and affirming therapeutic journey.
Whether you seek support for personal growth, relationship issues, or sexual concerns, I am here to help navigate your path towards increased well-being and fulfillment.
