The space I hold is individualized, compassionate, and centered on honoring your lived experience while supporting you in becoming your own strongest advocate. My approach is open, educational, and collaborative. I work to help clients build insight, confidence, and autonomy in their healing process. I support individuals across a wide range of ages, identities, and life experiences, and I tailor care to each person’s unique needs and goals. I have specialized training in sex therapy and work with individuals experiencing pelvic pain–related concerns, including: Pain with sex Pudendal neuralgia Vulvodynia Anxiety or resistance related to pelvic floor physical therapy Symptomatic Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma (which can be identified through expanded STI/STD testing when specifically requested from a medical provider) My work centers emotional support, education, and nervous system-informed care alongside physical healing. Sliding-scale options are available for individuals experiencing financial hardship.
