In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In your first session with me, you can expect a grounded, supportive, and judgment-free space to share what’s bringing you to therapy. We’ll explore your relationship history, current concerns, and what you hope to gain from our work together. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to understand your emotional patterns, communication style, and relational dynamics, while also attending to cultural context, identity, and lived experience. This session is collaborative and paced intentionally—there’s no pressure to “fix” everything right away. Together, we’ll begin clarifying goals and identifying areas where deeper intimacy, connection, or clarity may be needed.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach is intimacy-focused, culturally responsive, and sex-positive, blending depth-oriented relationship therapy with practical insight and emotional attunement. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist, I specialize in helping clients move beyond surface-level communication toward deeper emotional and relational understanding. I work from an affirming framework that supports ethical non-monogamy, diverse relationship structures, and evolving identities. Clients often share that our work helps them feel more emotionally connected, confident in expressing needs, and aligned in their relationships—whether they are repairing trust, navigating transitions, or redefining intimacy on their own terms.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to support individuals who want to deepen their relationship skills, emotional awareness, and sense of intimacy—both with themselves and others. This includes singles and individuals in non-monogamous or alternative relationship structures who are navigating communication challenges, emotional disconnection, desire concerns, trust repair, or relationship transitions. Many of my clients are reflective, growth-oriented, and ready to explore their relational patterns, boundaries, and needs in a thoughtful, affirming space. I work especially well with individuals who value a culturally responsive, sex-positive approach and are seeking therapy to build healthier, more intentional connections aligned with their values and long-term goals.
