It’s crazy to me that I even need to say this…
but EVERYONE is welcome through my doors.
I know people have had the experience of feeling judged or misunderstood when attempting therapy with other clinicians. This is heartbreaking to me. I want to be explicit that this will not be the case when you work with me. You will be in a safe place, not only free of shame and judgement, but affirming in who you are.
LGBTQIA+
Both professionally and personally, I have extensive experience with the community. You can feel safe here with me.
Sexual orientation is on a continuum. We can discuss the intricacies of your unique attractions.
Gender is also on a continuum! Some of us identify as non-binary. We can talk about what gender looks and feels like for you.
Together we can work on topics related to coming out, issues that arise in our family of origin, and parenting issues that may come up.
Unfortunately, growing up in a heteronormative world, there can often be some shame around our orientation. We can work through this lens and do shame resiliency work to help you feel proud and whole in who you are.
Designer Sexual Relationships
Are you into BDSM? Curious about play parties? Are you and your partner considering “opening up” your relationship?
As a kink-aware therapist, you won’t have to explain or defend your flavor of kink to me. We can explore areas of your life where you’d like to find more pleasure or areas where you might like to move towards more health. Sometimes clients just want to work on anxiety or parenting and they also happen to be kinky, but it’s not who you are. It’s important to be able to talk about all aspects of your life with your therapist.
There will be no shame regarding what your fetish might be. We can speak openly about your desires and fantasies. Sometimes we just need a safe space to process our thoughts and feelings. Together, we can be curious and discuss possibilities of what could help you reach optimal health and pleasure.
There’s no judgment in my office based on who or how many people you choose to love. We will look at your values, desires, expectations, and integrity. No matter how many partners you have, we’ll work on honesty, consent, boundaries, and open communication in all of your relationships.
Transgender
Our work together will help guide you to self-determine the steps and strategies that will allow you to feel more connected with your mind, body, and soul. I have worked with several clients as they’ve made their journey through transitioning.
We can discuss:
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Sexuality
Sense of self
Identity transition
Logistics of transitioning
Gender Unicorn work
