When we foster a space of compassion and curiosity we have more room to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, our boundaries and our desires. By creating this intentional space, we can increase opportunities for choice in our lives. Using a combination of relational, psychodynamic and mindfulness techniques I will help you to understand your own emotional landscape, so you can feel better equipped to manage stressful moments in life and have more capacity for joy and meaning. I specialize in working with the LGBTQI population and also with couples of all constellations.I am passionate about helping individuals and couples with sex and intimacy issues, including folks in the kink/sexual outsiders community. I have a high comfort level in talking about sex and feel lucky to be able to help others to find more pleasure, empowerment, and safety in these arenas.I primarily work relationally but also use somatic and mindfulness interventions with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression or other struggles. Additionally I offer supervision and consultation to interns and therapists looking for a consultant who is attuned to issues of difference and who is curious, direct, thoughtful and compassionate.
