Practice information:

What I most love in this world is to see people thriving as they live their most authentic life. I understand that may of us us have grown up in a way hasn't supported us to be our authentic self. Often we are surround by systems and structures that can keep us confined to only being permitted to show aspects of ourselves while other parts we sometimes feel we need to hide away. Sexuality is an area where most people have experienced this struggle as we are programmed for an early age to conform to gender, sexual, or relationship scripts that maybe don't fit us. It can be hard to find a safe, supportive, and judgment free space to explore this part of ourselves. This is what I am here to offer. A welcoming and inclusive space where you can receive the support you need to grow into your full empowered self including your relational and sexual self. To move from surviving to living into thriving. 

I work with folks around any areas of stress and mental health including compassion fatigue, burnout,  PTSD, anxiety, and depression. However, I specialize in supporting folks from all types of back grounds to move from a place of uncertainty, confusion, or suffering to a place of empowerment in their sexuality. I am particularly situated to work with queer, LGBTQ, Neurodiverse folks, kink-friendly and those with non-traditional relationship styles. I am very happy to work with people with any sexual orientation and relationship style. My therapy is gender affirming, inclusive, anti-oppresive, harm reducing, feminist, body positive, and sex positive. To be sex positive means that I believe that sexuality is an inherently positive and natural aspects of the human experience that deserves to be honored and celebrated. Since sexuality is a developmental process that changes and evolves with us over time I'm interested in working with people at all different ages and stages. In my work I acknowledge the systems that surround us as individuals and communities that add complexity to how we move through the world. I also work with couples or partnership around relationship concerns and sexual concerns. 

My back ground comes from 15 years working as a registered nurse in complex trauma, mental health, substance use, sexual health and gender affirming care. My nursing background is supplemented with being an educator and a sex and relationship coach. Therefore in my sessions you can anticipate seeing these different components of counseling, education, and coaching come forward. I still occasionally work as a Registered Nursing for Vancouver Coastal Health in their Trans Specialty Care program and Primary Care. I am presently also an associate of Bianca Rucker.
