Modalities:
IFS
A framework that understands who we are as a bunch of parts working their very best to protect and serve us. Our role is to lean in with curiosity and compassion rather than try to shove them away.
Somatic and body based work
So much of our lived experience is stored in bodily rememberings, whether that be in sensations, smells, flashbacks, or neural wirings. Connecting with and honoring the body creates pathways to access those stories and create safety within ourselves.
Mindfulness
Rooted in ancient Buddhist traditions, mindfulness encourages us to lean into the present moment with awareness and nonjudgment. Together we will practice micro moments, or longer moments, of presence within ourselves.
Neurodivergent affirming CBT
Cognitive behavioral therapy is what most folks of think of when they hear talk therapy. It is noticing logical fallacies and pitfalls and rewriting those scripts. However, many neurodivergent minds process things through different perspectives. In our sessions, CBT is used as a reference point, one that can be altered to best suit your unique mind.
Sex work/ kink/BDSM/ poly affirming therapy
With a background in queer sexual health education both in academic settings and in community oriented spaces, such as play parties and kink events, I foster an environment of non-judgment and curious exploration.
Relational
We are two human beings just humaning in the space together. We will be both be imperfect in the space and that is part of the work. I deeply value relationships with my clients as both innately valuable and therapeutically beneficial.
Existential
Existentialism is a philosophy that believes life has no inherent meaning centering individual interpretation, values, and agency. This means creating space for meaning making around life, death, loss, transitions, harm, and unanswerable questions.
Specialties
Queer and trans folks
Gender exploration and deeper understanding of sexuality and identity. Whether that be individuals who just want a space for their identity to be a piece of the puzzle or the main focus on the work. Or maybe you just want a therapist that can gossip about queer stuff!
Neurodivergent Folks
Including, but not limited to, those with ADHD, autism, and AuDHD working on self-esteem, self-acceptance, emotional regulation, and un-masking in an ableist world.
Sex Therapy
A safe space to talk about sex, desires, kinks, fantasies, etc backed with science and evidence based treatment. Also for folks navigating sexual related issues including pain, desire, orgasm, shame, and anxiety. Sex doesn’t have to be something you only talk about behind closed doors, you’re welcome here too!
Sexual Trauma
We will move slow and at a pace that feels safe for you. You don’t need to share every detail to heal. What we will do is honor the pain and hurt and find ways for you to feel connected to yourself and your agency again.
Couples and polycules
For those navigating relationship challenges, wanting deeper connection and understanding, and addressing communication barriers. Sex therapy is also offered for couples.
Grief and Loss
Loss is about more than just losing a loved one and sitting with grief and loss is an insanely difficult and oftentimes lonely experience. In a society that only allows such a short space to grieve, here, we can mourn, process, sob, and make meaning for as long as you need to.
