Work Philosophy

When it comes to sex and intimacy, we get a lot of messages from the people around us and from society in general about what is right and wrong.  I encourage my clients to question those messages and decide on the narrative that fits best for their lives.

Therapy should be a safe space, where clients feel welcome, free to share, and are able to be themselves.  I take a collaborative approach to therapy which allows the client to go at their own pace and comfort level.
