What I Do

Is anxiety preventing you from living your life to the fullest? If you are reacting to current situations with an outsized sense of worry or dread, avoiding activities you could enjoy because you are afraid of what might happen, anxiety has too much of a hold on your life. Think of a time where your anxiety either stopped you from doing something, or made it much harder to enjoy how you spend your days. Imagine being able to make decisions or take action without having to expect the worst case scenario. You can decrease the power anxiety holds over you by talking through your overwhelming thoughts, fears of judgment from others, and worries about the future. By identifying when your anxiety is doing more to harm than to help and releasing some of the fears that make it feel necessary to worry, you can create a life of more ease and peace for yourself.

Do you keep having the same argument or frustrations with family, feeling unheard and hurt each time it comes up? Learn to stop the cycle by improving your communication and setting and enforcing healthy boundaries. Think of a fight that repeats between you and a family member. Imagine being able to respond with confidence, knowing what your needs are and being able to express them clearly and calmly without escalating into the usual shouting matches or feeling upset for days afterward. Together, I can help you find the words to communicate how you expect to be treated, as well as the self-assurance to protect yourself when your expectations are not met. You may not be able to change your family’s mind or behavior, but you can determine your own limits and responses so theirs don’t harm your wellbeing.

Are you feeling confused or unsatisfied and looking to better connect with your body and the pleasure it can provide? I can help you - with or without your partner - to explore your fantasies and desires around nontraditional relationships, kinks, gender, and expression. You will be encouraged to think through the vast array of possibilities that are attractive to you to identify what you want to pursue, with the encouragement and support to act on them at the pace and timeline that works for you and your relationships. I particularly enjoy guiding couples through the process of opening up their relationship, helping to navigate and resolve both the complicated feelings and logistics that can be stirred up by exploring nonmonogamy. Reach out if you are interested in help with bringing back the spark to your relationship, exploring your sexual orientation, or expanding the options available to you and your partner.
