You are the expert on your experience, I simply serve as a guide to the process. - Therapy is a partnership between you and me, (and my corgi Bennett who may make an appearance now and then - don’t worry, he’s bound by HIPAA too). - I am honored to be in a position where I am able to support my community. The community served include those struggling with a variety of relationship, intimacy, and sexual issues. I also work well with those who are navigating cultural transitions, such as self-identity / exploration, marriage, blended families, immigrants, and refugees. Navigating various domains of life is tough and you are not alone.
If you have felt marginalized due to your sexual orientation, age, race, ethnicity, physical ability, or religion, it causes elevated feelings of anxiety, regret, and shame, that impact your day-to-day life and interpersonal relationships. - As a counselor, I employ a sex positive, goal oriented, directive, and integrative theoretical model with my clients.
I believe in fostering a healthy environment within the therapeutic space by building trust and mutual respect with you. You should feel comfortable speaking about your thoughts and feelings free from any judgement. By creating such an environment, my goal is that you feel empowered in your exploration toward improving your overall mental health.
