“Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
— Brené Brown
Is therapy right for me?
Before seeking therapy from me, you might be feeling overwhelmed by worry or fear, finding it difficult to fully enjoy life amidst anxious thoughts and persistent emotions. Perhaps you're struggling with anger, low motivation, or feelings of being misunderstood or victimized. If you're part of the LGBTQIA+ community, you might be seeking a therapist who respects and affirms your identity without judgment. If you identify as "kinky," you might worry about how your preferences will be perceived. Maybe you're navigating polyamory or ethical non-monogamy and need a supportive space to explore relationship dynamics freely.
I am here to offer a safe haven—a sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, polyamory-friendly, and kink-informed therapeutic environment. I passionately support clients in exploring their sexuality and sexual identity, embracing diversity in sexual orientations, preferences, practices, identities, and relationship styles. My goal is to empower you to challenge negative thoughts, reclaim control over your life, and craft your own narrative.
I understand the weight of feeling trapped in anxious cycles and overwhelmed by emotions. Many of us experience moments of isolation and uncertainty during challenging emotional times. Therapy, for me, is about alleviating that sense of isolation and building a trusting, collaborative relationship where you are accepted unconditionally. I believe in the complexity and uniqueness of each individual, which is why I employ a systemic therapeutic approach. Through a blend of effective techniques tailored to your needs, I aim to find the right path forward with you.
Choosing therapy is a deeply personal decision. People seek therapy for various reasons—whether it's addressing longstanding psychological issues, navigating relationship or sexual challenges, managing anxiety or depression, or simply embarking on personal growth and exploration. Whatever your journey looks like, therapy can offer insights, support, and new strategies to tackle life's complexities.
Let's embark on this journey together—where you can find understanding, support, and the tools to navigate life with confidence and resilience.
I believe that no one should have to walk alone in their journey to hope and healing.
My Counseling Method
Therapy offers a transformative journey, addressing a wide range of issues such as depression, work and family conflicts, stress management, mismatched libido, body-image concerns, gender identity exploration, and navigating life transitions. It's a valuable resource for anyone committed to enhancing their life through greater self-awareness, taking ownership of their actions, and pursuing positive change.
In our initial sessions, my priority is building a foundation of trust and understanding. This sets the stage for meaningful self-exploration and collaborative problem-solving in a safe, open, and supportive environment. Together, we'll identify your strengths and build upon them, enhancing your communication skills, coping mechanisms, and fostering healthy thought patterns.
While therapy provides unwavering support, it also involves confronting truths that may be challenging. These moments are integral to personal growth and are navigated with the compassionate guidance of your therapist. Sometimes, delving deeper into difficult emotions or events is necessary for healing and moving forward.
My approach is holistic, encompassing both individual and family dynamics. Drawing from a diverse toolkit including systemic therapy, cognitive-behavioral strategies, solution-focused, Gottman, and more. I tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals.
Choosing to work with me means embarking on a journey of self-awareness and empowerment. You'll develop a deeper understanding of your triggers and gain skills to manage your emotional responses effectively. Ultimately, you'll experience greater calmness, peace, and a renewed sense of control over your life's direction. Together, we'll pave the way for lasting positive change and personal fulfillment.
