ABOUT ME

Am I the right therapist for you?

If you're here, that's probably the question you're asking yourself. I can't answer it for you (and consider that a sneak peek into how often I give straight answers to questions in therapy!), but I can give you some more information about how I work.

When I first decided to pursue graduate school to become a therapist, I knew that my long-term goal was to become a sex therapist. While I'm not there yet, I have been lucky enough to spend the time since I graduated working primarily with clients who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+, kink, non-monogamy, or sex work communities. I know from experience and from talking to others that finding a therapist who is competent in working with any of these populations can be next to impossible, and I work hard to make sure that I stay up to date on the issues affecting my clients.

As I began this work, I found that trauma is a big part of the reason why many people seek therapy, especially for folks from marginalized communities. Over my time as a therapist, I have learned that PTSD can present with just about any symptom you can imagine, and I have begun to see more and more things through a trauma lens.

I believe in working in the way that works for each of my clients, pulling in tools and resources from whatever sources I can get my hands on, and changing my approach to fit the goals that we choose together.

At this time, in order to be able to make my schedule work for all my clients, I see clients weekly. If you need to meet more frequently than that on occasion, we can likely make that work! I will sometimes move to every-other-week as a client is preparing to graduate from therapy, but outside of that scenario, once a week is my standard practice. I work in the afternoons and evenings, Mondays-Fridays.

It's also important to know that I have two cats, and they will insist on making appearances in my virtual sessions.
