Areas of Focus
Sexuality & Romantic Spectrums
Did you grow up feeling like your relationship with sexuality and/or romance differed from the experiences your peers described? Did it lead you to feel like there was something "wrong" with you? Well, there isn't! I am happy to help you define or redefine your relationship with your self as it relates to sexuality and romantic experiences or lack thereof. I can help you to:
-
normalize your experience
-
learn where your boundaries and comfort zones are
-
learn to accept and love your differences
Alternate Lifestyles
Are you in a non monogamous and/or kink based relationship? Are you curious about entering one or more than one? I can help with the skills and tools needed to enter or succeed in this type of relationship. I can help you (individual, dyadic, triadic, and quads) to:
-
improve communication
-
learn what their individual needs are
-
determine when and where you are comfortable compromising
-
determining what is healthy and normal within alternative structures
Queer & Neurodivergent Trauma
Are you neurodivergent and tired of explaining your experience and still feeling unheard? Have you experienced peer, family, and/or medical trauma due to your neurobiology? Does it impact how comfortable you are in the world? Do you want someone who knows what it's like? I work with individuals and couples to help unpack:
-
internalized ableism
-
institutional, relational, education, and work based traumas
-
time management, burnout, self advocacy and more
-
learn to find queer and/or ND joy
