Sexuality is so challenging to talk about for most people that getting to the point where you are online this minute searching for a therapist comfortable talking about it with you is a major success. Even if you get no further than this sentence right now, you have already overcome a monumental hurdle; you will be able to do it again, and your next search will be easier. The path to sexual fulfillment can be grueling to navigate alone, and I am happy to explore whatever is on your mind regarding your sexuality, be it pleasure challenges, trauma, sexual or gender identity, non-monogamy, kink, addiction, and everything in between.
Research shows that members of the Queer community experience more trauma, anxiety, depression, and successful suicide attempts than the larger heteronormative society. As a lesbian passionate about trauma healing and helping find congruency with one’s sexual self, I am here to help you find your voice and inner strength wherever you are in your journey.
I can help you find meaning, ignite your passion for life, and create for yourself a life worth living. I integrate neuroscience, trauma research, and mindfulness practices while incorporating innovative treatment approaches that include driving anxiety therapy and expressive arts. You are worth this step, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey!
