About My Clients
As a relationship and sex therapist I have training and experience working with people navigating a variety of relationship structures, sexual desires, and kink identities. I work with individuals, couples, friends, family members, roommates, and polycules. Any and all relationships can benefit from having a therapeutic space to work through challenges, process their experiences, and improve their relationships.
My Background and Approach
I draw inspiration from transformative justice, decolonial practices, and liberation psychology. These approaches emphasize how culture, self, and community are all connected and co-created and make space for the importance of repair. I am trained systemically and work from a psychodynamic and relational framework meaning I prioritize the importance of the therapeutic relationship in healing and the impact of systemic oppression on our mental health and nervous systems. The psychodynamic lens allows for exploring how past experiences impact present relationships and how we move through the world.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a relational therapist it is important to provide some insight into who I am and what I bring to the space. I am a fat, white, non-binary, queer, lesbian originally from a small town in Ohio.I was raised by Quakers who first introduced me to concepts of social justice and community care which continue to shape the lens I bring to my work and my life. I enjoy spending time with my wife and loved ones, including our two dogs. I enjoy caring for our ever growing plant collection, trying new foods, collecting fat art, and attending local drag and art shows. I am passionate about increasing people’s connection with themselves and with others, making people feel more connected sexually, and making spaces where queer folks feel seen, heard and known, as individuals and in community.
