About this provider
Clients I Work With
I am an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist with a history of specialization in trauma and addiction therapy. I primarily work with two populations: individuals who want to change how they show up in the realm of intimacy/relationships and with couples for integrative sex and couples therapy. I provide help for relationship-related concerns including but not limited to: desire discrepancy (or hypo- or hyper-active libido); recovery from infidelity; erotic recovery after trauma; kind-affirming care; help to develop alternative relationship structures e.g. an open or polyamorous structure. I am certified in Gottman Levels 1 & 2 and have training in Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Approach
I approach every case with an open, curious mind and an eagerness to establish trust and be helpful. Once we hit our stride, my sessions tend to be dynamic and engaging. I follow your thought process and tune in to your emotions as a guide for what to ask more about, for what insight I might reflect back, that you would be invited to consider something from a new angle. As the expert on your life, you have the power to lead us in the direction you want - and I am also ready to act as an experienced guide with my own expertise to offer you as you work to fulfill personal goals. I am also a ketamine-assisted therapist with a strong belief in the healing power of (legal) psychedelic therapy.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
I chose to become a therapist because I love it, but now that I'm practicing I see it as a purpose-driven calling. It's a precious, vulnerable thing to share in therapy and it's my honor to be so trusted. I grew up in a small town in upstate New York and was raised in conservative Christianity, which I fully subscribed to. My process of religious deconstruction began in my early 20s and now I work to help others who have been experienced harm from religion. I'm English and Irish but I've always loved the Spanish language so I studied and became fluent, hasta que puedo ofrecer la psicoterapia en espanol. I am part of a mixed-race family so I'm mom to three mixed-race boys. As an Millennial (intersectional) feminist raising tween boys, I'm done a lot of reflecting on what a strong, self-assured, healthy masculinity might look like, and I do specialize in Men's issues.
More About My Practice
I provide primarily virtual services in NY, CT and FL but in-person services may be available if you are in the Rochester area (e.g. for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy you may wish to have a dosing session in your home). I accept most major insurances for individual counseling and couples therapy is out-of-pocket. I am fluent in Spanish y puedo ofrecer los servicios en espanol.
I am available for case consultation to other professionals for sex therapy and couples therapy cases.
