Whether you are struggling with a crisis, looking for a casual space to talk and reflect, or something in between, we can take on your challenges together.

Sex and sexuality

Sex therapy is a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can work through issues related to sexual wellbeing and functioning, desire, intimacy, painful sex, sexuality, identity, and beyond. As an AASECT-certified sex therapist, I work with clients to process difficult sexual experiences and explore internalized messages around sex and sexuality, including feelings of shame or guilt. Sex therapy is LGBTQ+ affirming and welcomes clients of all sexual orientations and preferences, gender identities, and relationship types.

Couples counseling

Couples counseling can help partners build positive communication skills, navigate conflict and transitions within the relationship, and work through past experiences that continue to cause pain and resentment. Additionally, counseling can help partners improve sex and intimacy in the relationship, as well as feelings of security and connection. Couples counseling also provides a space for partners to strengthen their voice within their relationship and ensure their needs are being heard.

OCD

In therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder, clients can learn to better cope with intrusive and obsessive thoughts. The therapeutic process may involve gradual exposure to fears and triggers, while exploring the roots of fears and what maintains these behaviors, or compulsions. Through therapy, clients can experience relief from OCD symptoms and begin to regain control of their lives.

Trauma

Counseling for trauma involves coping with difficult life events and developing a deeper understanding of how trauma impacts the brain, body, and relationships. This includes exploring trauma/fear responses and behavior patterns that are rooted in past experiences, empowering individuals to find a positive way forward, and finding relief, peace, and healing. Working through trauma can help individuals connect with their body and explore how it responds to past traumatic experiences.

Relationships

Relationship counseling can help individuals identify and express their wants and needs within a relationship and improve upon boundary setting. Counseling can also provide a safe space to process negative relationship patterns and explore attachment styles and how they impact relationships. For individuals who are not in traditionally monogamous relationships, counseling can offer guidance and support.

Anxiety

Anxiety counseling focuses on developing effective strategies and tools to cope with stress, worry, and anxiety. This can include exploring triggers, identifying negative thought patterns, and working to improve rumination and obsessive thoughts.

Life transitions

Counseling for life transitions focuses on coping with challenging life events or changes, such as moving, relationship changes, family events, career shifts, and more. Counseling can help individuals identify coping skills to ease their transition, as well as improve self-care as they adjust to these changes.
