How did you start working with non-traditional relationships?
The pandemic shook us up!! Over the past two years I’ve seen many of my clients radically reconsidering how they think about relationships, sex and love.
For some people this means questioning their sexual identity or orientation. For others, it means rethinking their relationship dynamics and dating practices. I’m also finding my clients increasingly willing to lean into accepting and realizing erotic fantasies, kinks and desires that they may have been reluctant to acknowledge.
This is brave work, and I’ve been thrilled to witness some incredible personal and relational transformations.
Helping people grapple with these questions led me to change the focus of my practice. I’ve adapted my work to specialize in helping people build healthy non-traditional relationships and explore shifting sexual and erotic identities.
I’m genuinely inspired by how I see my clients challenging the status quo when it comes to love and sex!
What can you expect from working with me?
Expect me to listen.
Therapy can be a vulnerable experience. I offer clients a compassionate, non-judgmental and non-critical environment to express themselves and explore their private thoughts and feelings. You can expect empathy, strict confidentiality, professionalism, and respect from me.
Expect me to collaborate.
Our work is a partnership, and I’m here to empower you to find your own best strategies and solutions to the issues you bring to our sessions. I am an open-minded, creative, and dynamic thinker, but I won’t tell you what to do. I bring my knowledge, experience, and pro-active attitude to help you identify and implement the change you desire to create your best life.
Expect change.
You’ve come to therapy because you realize something in your life isn’t working. I offer you support and resources to move forward and re-shape your world. I believe therapy is intended to bring about self-knowledge, awareness, and acceptance, but also positive transformation. I’m committed to helping you on your path to growth and change.
