LCSW, 5 years of experience
Hi, I’m Trey, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida and a queer, affirming therapist currently earning my Sex Therapy Certification through the Sexual Health Alliance. I specialize in helping adults navigate the complex intersections of intimacy, sexuality, and relationships. My work is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and a sex-positive lens. I support clients who may be experiencing challenges with desire, arousal, or orgasm, recovering from sexual trauma, exploring kink or non-monogamy, or simply wanting to feel more connected to themselves and their partners. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and safe to explore—even the parts of yourself that feel vulnerable or messy. Together, we’ll work toward building confidence, deepening connection, and cultivating a relationship with your sexuality that feels joyful and empowering.
Together, we can address a broad spectrum of concerns—from sexual dysfunction, low desire, and shame around pleasure, to healing from sexual trauma or finding balance in monogamous, polyamorous, or kink relationships. My approach is sex-positive and compassionate, helping you reconnect with your body, your values, and the intimacy you deserve. In our first session, the focus is on getting to know each other and building a foundation of trust. I want to understand what brings you to therapy, what you're hoping to get out of it, and what’s been weighing on you. This is also a space for you to ask questions and get a feel for how I work, because finding the right fit in a therapist is important. We’ll talk about your goals, explore what’s been getting in the way, and begin to map out a path forward together. There’s no pressure to share everything right away, trust has to be built, and we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer picture of how we can work together to support your growth, healing, and whatever changes you’re hoping to make.
I believe my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to create a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story, while also offering structure and direction when needed. I’m not just here to listen—I’m here to help you move forward in ways that feel aligned with your values. Clients often tell me they appreciate my honesty, sense of humor, and how I make therapy feel approachable, even when we’re diving into difficult topics.
Do you ever worry that sexual challenges might be affecting your relationships? Maybe you’re struggling with desire, arousal, or orgasm. Maybe past trauma makes intimacy feel overwhelming, or you’re navigating questions about sexuality, kink, or non-monogamy. These challenges can feel isolating—but you don’t have to face them alone. My ideal client comes with curiosity and goals for therapy. They may not have it all figured out (no one does!), but they’re ready to dig in, explore openly, and do the sometimes messy work of growth. Together, we create a safe space where acceptance and healing allow for deeper intimacy with self and others.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT, pronounced like the word “act”) is a type of talk therapy that helps people handle tough thoughts and feelings more effectively, so they can live a life that feels meaningful and true to themselves. Instead of trying to get rid of painful emotions or negative thoughts, because is it really even possible not to have those thoughts, ACT teaches you how to *accept* them and stop letting them control your actions. At the same time, it helps you get clear on what really matters to you (your values) and commit to actions that move you toward the kind of life you want. Think of it like this: You can’t stop waves in the ocean, but you can learn to surf. ACT gives you tools to stop fighting your inner experience and start living with more freedom, flexibility, and purpose.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of therapy that helps people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and make more balanced choices—especially when life feels overwhelming or chaotic. DBT teaches practical skills in four key areas: Present moment awareness– learning to stay in the here and now, instead of getting lost in your thoughts or feelings. Distress Tolerance – handling emotional crises in healthier ways without making things worse. Emotion Regulation – understanding and managing your emotions so they don’t take over. Interpersonal Effectiveness – communicating more clearly and setting boundaries in relationships. It’s called “dialectical” because it balances two ideas: accepting yourself as you are, while also working to change what’s not working. You don’t have to choose between one or the other, you can do both. DBT is especially helpful for people who feel emotions very deeply, often feel out of control, or struggle in their relationships. It gives you tools to feel more stable and in charge of your life.
