What To Expect At Your Visit

Are you seeking a safe space to share your fears and dreams? Struggling to break free from negative coping patterns? You may be searching for someone who embraces your uniqueness, whether you're in a consensual non-monogamous relationship, identify as LGBTQIA2+, or are considering gender or sexual orientation transitions.

As an integrated somatic psychology practitioner, I provide a supportive environment where LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies can explore their authentic selves. Through somatic techniques, I help clients reconnect with their passions and experience the joy of living authentically. Additionally, I offer guidance for parents and allies to better support their queer loved ones.

 

Sessions are available in-person or online, promoting healing and growth in a safe and affirming space. If you're ready to embark on this journey, I invite you to schedule a consultation to begin your path toward living your best life.
