Are you feeling alone and that you must bear your troubles in isolation?
No one should have to go at it alone.
It is rare to find a space to discuss sex, never mind seeking support around sexual concerns. I began pursuing sex therapy as a means to create space to talk without worry about judgement or being blamed/shamed.
I offer a de-stigmatizing and validating experience to help you feel supported while navigating the stickier and scarier parts of life. I seek to aid our innermost selves in feeling seen, understood, and unstuck. I support and normalise through psychoeducation, specialized training, and a deep well of compassion and empathy.
Areas of expertise:
Sex work
Sexuality
Sexual functioning
Sexual desire
Pelvic floor pain
Fantasy/kink/fetish
Sex/porn "addiction"
Pedophilia/Paraphilias
Life transitions
Childhood trauma, sexual trauma, religious trauma, medical trauma etc
Panic/anxiety.
I ground my work in emotion-focused and trauma-informed care that allows us to slow down and feel the emotions we often ignore in our fast-paced society. I seek to validate first and foremost to help clients shed feelings of shame and feel empowered moving forward.
Don’t suffer alone- let's shrug off the debilitating shame and silence and move forward with a greater sense of confidence and capacity.
