Relationships, intimacy, and sexual expression are key to our existence as humans. We thrive on connection. Often from our earliest connections, we learn patterns and coping mechanisms for survival that can get in the way of presence with ourselves and with others and how we want to express ourselves in this world. Learn to communicate in ways that get your needs and wants met. Set boundaries and limits to create peace in your relationships. Work through issues to find the emotional connection, sexual intimacy, and expression that you desire. Release sexual/body/pleasure shame to express yourself fully in this world.
As a registered psychologist and sex therapist, I offer individual and couple’s therapy in a non-judgemental environment that is LGBTQ and polyamory/LS Lifestyle/kink affirming, with a focus on healthy relationships and freedom in sexual expression. With a background in Holistic Studies, my approach is trauma-informed and integrates body, mind, and spirit.
I invite you to take that courageous first step towards healing and transformation and contact me. Email is the best way to contact me for the quickest response. I offer a non-judging environment where you can talk about anything that concerns you, no topic is taboo. I look forward to getting to know you and guiding you on your journey.
