What I Do

Do you feel like you are holding onto negative or overwhelming memories, treatment, or experiences from your past in a way that is still harming you? A current response to past trauma may be making it more difficult for you to pursue what you want - from your career, to relationships, to social interactions and activities. In our sessions, your experiences and emotions will be given the importance and attention they deserve, never to be dismissed. You will be encouraged to speak and feel without censoring yourself, without holding back, without fearing that what you share will be met with offense or denial. I will help you focus on reworking the difficult experiences of your past, while accompanying you with care and compassion the whole way. The pathway to healing from trauma is challenging, but offers you the freedom of choice and agency that remaining in a trauma response cannot.

Is anxiety preventing you from living your life to the fullest? If you are reacting to current situations with an outsized sense of worry or dread, avoiding activities you could enjoy because you are afraid of what might happen, anxiety has too much of a hold on your life. Think of a time where your anxiety either stopped you from doing something, or made it much harder to enjoy how you spend your days. Imagine being able to make decisions or take action without having to expect the worst case scenario. You can decrease the power anxiety holds over you by talking through your overwhelming thoughts, fears of judgment from others, and worries about the future. By identifying when your anxiety is doing more to harm than to help and releasing some of the fears that make it feel necessary to worry, you can create a life of more ease and peace for yourself.

Are you feeling confused or unsatisfied and looking to better connect with your body and the pleasure it can provide? I can help you - with or without your partner - to explore your fantasies and desires around nontraditional relationships, kinks, gender, and expression. You will be encouraged to think through the vast array of possibilities that are attractive to you to identify what you want to pursue, with the encouragement and support to act on them at the pace and timeline that works for you and your relationships. I particularly enjoy guiding couples through the process of opening up their relationship, helping to navigate and resolve both the complicated feelings and logistics that can be stirred up by exploring nonmonogamy. Reach out if you are interested in help with bringing back the spark to your relationship, exploring your sexual orientation, or expanding the options available to you and your partner.
