About My Clients
While my professional expertise and lived experience pertain to alternative communities associated with non-monogamy/polyamory, kink/BDSM, LGBTQIA+, and sex work, I also work with those addressing issues related to the following: Trauma, CPTSD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, neurodivergence, codependency, attachment, growth/fixed mindset, gender & sexual identity, divorce/separation, relational challenges (affair resolution, sexual difficulties, life trajectory changes, etc).
My Background and Approach
My therapeutic style is client centered and fluid due to my firm belief that therapy is not a one size fits all process. I use an integrative, trauma informed, holistic approach that combines different evidence-based modalities. I tend to pull from psychoanalysis, attachment theory, internal family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. I am oftentimes referred to as a "tough love therapist" by my clients due to my direct, yet nurturing approach. While boundaries are crucial in maintaining a healthy relationship between clinician and client, I do not ascribe to traditional power dynamics associated with clinical psychotherapy. While I am knowledgeable in areas associated with psychotherapy and the communities I serve, you are the expert of your own experience, and I believe you have just as much, if not more, to contribute. I oftentimes offer “homework” to encourage accountability and self-reflection outside of our therapy time.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a queer woman of color whose personal identities intersect with many of the alternative communities I work with. I truly understand how necessary and beneficial a strong support network can be, especially for those trying to heal, grow, and understand themselves more deeply. My goal is to help you explore, understand, integrate, and feel safe as you discover and make peace with your most authentic self.
