what's your client focus?
- I specialize in working with clients who have diverse sexual orientations such as: asexual, bisexual, pansexual, lesbian, gay, queer, questioning; and expansive gender identities such as: trans, gender non-conforming, gender fluid, and non-binary.
- Because of my background in sexual health, I often work as part of a treatment team with colleagues in the medical, physical therapy, gynecology, and dietetics fields. Together we address issues such as: painful intercourse, hormone replacement therapy, erectile dysfunction, low libido, fertility, and disordered eating.
- I also have experience working with individuals and couples who identify as: poly, being in an open relationship, practicing ethical non-monogamy, swingers, sex workers, part of the BDSM and/or kink communities.
- Parents, partners, and loved ones of LGBTQIA+ community members are welcome as clients as well!
what's sex therapy?
- As a sex-educator-turned-therapist, I enjoy facilitating explorations of sexuality, gender, and relationships.
- By practicing through an intersectional feminist framework, I specialize in working with folks in traditionally marginalized groups such as LGBTQIA+, people of color, femme-presenting people, and sex workers.
- Sex therapy topics may include: navigating sexually transmitted infections (STIs), menstruation management, pregnancy prevention/planning/loss, accessing gender affirmation services, changes in libido, enhancing pleasure, painful intercourse, kink, BDSM, and ethical non-monogamy.
- Sex therapy is talk therapy. There is no physical touch between client and therapist.
do you provide general therapy?
- Even though I have specialties working with LGBTQ+ populations and providing sex therapy, I am happy to serve folks seeking general therapy.
- Common topics in general therapy are: stress management techniques, improving communication skills, boundary setting, and enhancing relationships.
- I also have many years of experience supporting graduate students and professionals in the helping fields seeking individual consultation services and mentorship.
- Additionally, I am available for facilitating educational presentations, professional in-services, workshops, and support groups.
- I only work with clients 21 and up.
