I strongly believe, and studies show, that the connection between you and your therapist is one of the most important aspects of being in therapy. No matter what brings you here, trust and communication are what help you to be comfortable. My goal is to create a safe, judgement free space for whatever you want to unpack. You can do hard things and I'm here to help you.
I am a sex positive, harm reduction, science based therapist. This means that you will not be shamed in my office. You should be able to discuss anything with your therapist and I firmly include sex and sex adjacent topics in that category. I always approach this from a safety first, educational and positive standpoint.
Already, I'm so proud of you for making it this far! Often, finding a therapist can be very difficult and overwhelming. So, congratulations! You have gotten through one of the harder parts and you deserve a pat on the back. Give me a call or send me an email, I'd be happy to discuss your specific situation with you to see if we'd be a good fit.
