New to Grow
I am focused on sex therapy, working with people who have gender or identity questioning issues, issues with partners, kink/fetish/swinging related issues, or problems or issues with sex and sexuality. I see individuals, couples, and polycules. I have both book learning and practical, lived experience in many sex/gender/sexuality issues. I am a member of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. I enjoy spending time in the wilderness, thrifting or rummage sales, and spending time with my five and a half cats.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Clients are able to build comfort at their own pace, have their issues heard, and look at possible approaches to next steps. We will learn a bit about each other and look at the main problem or share more of an overview of what paths they want to take or the array of issues or background influencers that are important to their problems.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Understanding, communication, knowledge, getting people to understand through analogies, personal experiences.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with clients who are open to talking about their issues, trying to figure out the next steps, or seek understanding of who they are and what they like. Many of my clients are struggling and anxious about talking to a professional about deeper personal issues. Many of my clients are in the Polyamory, Swinging, Non-Monogamy, or Alternative Sexuality Communities or wishing to delve deeper into that.
