My therapy experience, training and background have leaned into working with people who feel stuck in a vacuum of anxiety ond depression, lack of motivation, and an inability to see with clarity outside of the circumstances in which they find themseves. My second niche spans gender and sexuality, and I've worked with communites marginalized in gender and sexuality, providing help with sexual dysfunction, out-of-control sexual behavior, relationship issues, and those relating to gender.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I'm fairly relaxed and project welcome and safety, so the backdrop of the session is making the client feel comfortable in therapy. Usually there is a combo of entering into a person's story and looking for clues to see what can help them in the immediate. They should leave more relaxed than when they began the session, and hopeful for an ongoing journey.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My inviting and casual nature helps most people feel relaxed with me, like talking to a friend who also has the potential of helping them in their areas of need. They will be heard and seen first, and so it will be easier for them to explore the things that are troubling. They'll likely find also that the therapy process, even though it comes from a wounded or vulnerable place, can be a lighter process than they expected and often something that they look forward to.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Sex Therapy
I am an AASECT certified sex therapist who treats sexual dysfunction, issues with couples, the kinky and nomonogamous communities, out-of-control sexual behavior, and the LGBTQIA plus community.
Couples Counseling
With most couples I follow the Gottman example of taking a couple history, examining their communication styles, interviewing members of the couple separately, and then using research-based treatment planning to help them. Because I'm an AASECT certified sex therapist, my sexuality experience is often helpful as well.
EMDR
Some of my clients require trauma therapy, and I use EMDR to help them turn down the volume on their emotional overwhelm.
Gender-affirming therapy
In the LGBTQIA plus community, I help equip clients to both stand firm in their identities or to explore them, and to find resources they need to do either.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Many of my clients require assistance locating, understanding and communicating with their parts to help themselves find an equilibrium.
