Sexuality & Gender

All of you matters here.

Sexuality and gender are beautiful, integral parts of who we are—but they don’t define our whole selves. Too often, society, experiences, and dominant narratives impose expectations that don’t align with our truth. In an LGBTQ+ affirming and sex-positive therapy space, we create room to explore these parts of ourselves with curiosity, compassion, and joy. Here, you are free to reclaim your story, embrace pleasure without shame, and step into the fullness of your most authentic self—with playfulness, peace, and pride.

Have you been able to be curious about your sexuality?

Sexual feelings and attractions can evolve and change throughout one's life. Exploring this aspect of yourself can lead to healing, confidence, and peace when approached with kindness and non-judgment. If this is an area that brings you to therapy, you can expect my utmost gentleness while we navigate your curiosity about sexual attraction, thoughts, and desires.

There are no limitations regarding identity in this process—age, kink, relationship status, ethnicity, gender, religion, ability, or race do not matter. I support individuals at all stages of their lives in this journey. I am committed to providing affirming and holistic LGBTQ+ therapy that addresses both dominant and non-dominant experiences.

“the goal is not to heal
and then begin your life
the goal is to embrace healing
as a life long journey and allow
genuine connections
to emerge organically
along the way.”

Maybe:

Maybe you are starting to feel curious about your feelings of attraction and want someone to help you explore the parts of yourself with non-judgement and compassion. Maybe you are ready to come out as gay, lesbian, bi, queer, *, and you are ready to create the support for yourself in the process of inviting folks in. Wherever you find yourself or your relationship, having the support and space to process can help you heal, live confidently, and build resiliency.

I will support you in finding the language, expression, connection (with self and others), and freedom that you most desire when exploring your sexuality.

Have you been able to be curious about your gender?

Many of us do not receive the space, support, or permission to be curious about our bodies and identities—especially when our experiences fall outside dominant narratives. Gender invites curiosity, kindness, and creativity, yet the exploration of it can feel deeply vulnerable and overwhelming. Whether this is your first time allowing yourself to ask these questions or you have spent a lifetime navigating your own journey, your experience is valid.

In an affirming and sex-positive therapy space, you are not required to conform to someone else's definition of who you should be. Instead, you will be supported in discovering your own truth, your own path, and the fullness of your most expansive self—on your terms and at your own pace.

“Letting go of that idea that I needed to be normal or that I somehow wasn’t normal just because I needed to prioritize self-care to be healthy is the biggest gift I’ve ever given myself. Being normal is being completely unique, because nobody’s the same.”

— Jonathan Van Ness

Are you curious about:

Discovering, learning, and exploring how you want to be your most authentic self
Finding the language that best describes all of you

Healing from painful and harmful experiences from social environments, family, and friends
Creating coping strategies for increased resiliency

I believe you are expert on yourself and by coming alongside you, I get the honor of helping you author your own healing story.

I support folks in processing the full spectrum of experience with gender.

I will support you in finding the language, expression, connection (with self), kindness, and freedom that you most desire when exploring your gender. It is important for me to note that I am a cisgender woman and always refer to lived experience folks, leaders, clinicians, and trainers to stay up to date on how to support folks being curious about their gender expansive journey. If you are wanting to work with someone within your gender community I have a list of trusted therapists that I would be honored to connect you with.
