I love working with individuals and couples from the LGBTQIA+ community, the ethical non-monogamy community, the sex worker community, and the BDSM\/kink community. Drawing from both my professional and personal experience, my approach to this work is affirming, trauma-informed, and social justice oriented. I specialize in sex therapy, relational and intimacy issues, gender and sexuality exploration, attachment issues, and anxiety.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I am an emotionally focused, attachment-based, sex-positive, feminist post-modern therapist. I believe that both trauma and healing happens in our relationships with others. I also work to assist my clients in recognizing that problems like anxiety and depression are healthy reactions to the broken system in which we all exist, and then I help them to manage and minimize the unwanted symptoms. I view sexuality and gender identity and expression as fluid and unique to each of us, like a fingerprint. I believe that pleasure is both a moral value and an act of resistance, and I am committed to providing a sex-positive space that fosters your own self-discovery.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">During my masters in clinical psychology program, I received additional specialized training and certificates in both sex therapy and LGBTQIA+ affirming care, which informs my work as a staff therapist at the LA LGBT Center and my associateship at Best Self Psych. I have also completed the Emotionally Focused Therapy externship, and I use the techniques and principles of EFT with the couples that I treat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I look forward to supporting your growth, your healing, and your self-exploration in our work together.
