My Offerings
My work centers on helping clients address diverse challenges while prioritizing their unique, intersectional identities. Below, you'll find the topics in which I have additional expertise and/or extensive training and how I approach them in sessions.
Trauma and C-PTSD
Traumatic instances can make us feel stuck in our own realities, limiting our sense of autonomy and freedom. We will work together to deepen your emotional regulation skills, investigate your current adaptive strategies, and expand your internal and external resources to help you feel safe, dignified, accepted, and connected to yourself and others.
LGBTQIA+ Realities and Relationships
As a fellow queer person, I aim to create a space where you feel affirmed and celebrated in your identity. While we will discuss the unique challenges in your life, which may include navigating expression, handling discrimination, and exploring internalized shame, we will also center the joy, resiliency, advocacy, and hope that being part of the LGBTQIA+ community can bring.
Relationship Issues
Whether it's issues with communication, burgeoning feelings of resentment, facing life transitions, or hoping for a relationship "tune up," we'll integrate techniques to help shift distressing relationship patterns and increase fondness, closeness, and security. We'll draw on Gottman and Emotionally Focused Therapy to integrate gentle start ups, practice accountability, and establish a safer relational space to share vulnerable emotions.
Women's Issues
I understand that women often face unique challenges rooted in their lived experiences, which can be deeply affected by societal, relational, and cultural expectations. Whether you're dealing with the daily life stressors, navigating the complexities of gender roles, or processing experiences of abuse, I'll hold space so that you can feel seen and heard without judgment.
Sex, Intimacy, and Pleasure
In the wise words of Emily Nagoski, "Pleasure is the measure!" We'll move away from the pressures of a performance-based approach by focusing on what's already working, learning about your turn ons and turn offs, and integrating somatic exercises to help you feel more connected to yourself, others, and pleasure itself.
Artist, Performer, and Creatives' Concerns
Whether you are navigating creative blocks, reassessing your relationship with perfectionism, or dealing with the uncertainty and grief of a career transition, I hear you! We'll work together to investigate the connections between personal, professional, and creative self so that you can find ways to create and perform from a place of clarity, authenticity, and empowerment.
