A space where nothing is “too much”
Clients tell me I have a calm, easy-to-talk-to presence. I’ll bring in real examples when it’s useful, so you know you’re not the only person who’s ever felt this way — and I try to make sure nothing that comes up in session gets treated as strange, weird, or bad. Confidentiality is the baseline, of course, but with anything private or sensitive, what actually helps is whether we click fast enough for you to feel safe.
What guides how I work
I’ve lived through physical, sexual, mental, and psychological trauma myself, and that’s shaped my whole approach: I want your path to healing to be easier than mine was. Growing up, I knew my thoughts and beliefs didn’t match my family’s — and watching how the world treated my youngest son for being autistic only deepened that. I understand what it’s like to be “not mainstream,” and it’s part of why I hold space for people without judgment, focused only on what actually matters: is it healthy?
Tools, questions, or both
Both. I bring exercises and tools to hand you, along with reflective questions — and I’ll challenge a thought or belief when I think it needs pushing back on.
Shame, vulnerability, and fear of judgment
Most shame isn’t yours — it’s inherited, from family, from culture, from what society decided was acceptable. My job is to help you separate the generational and societal noise from what’s healthy, reasonable, and true for you as an individual.
What We Work On
Individual therapy here covers general counselling — anxiety, stress, life coaching — as well as sexual identity, intimacy, and rebuilding after betrayal or trauma. If it’s affecting your life, it’s worth bringing in.
Sexual Confidence & Anxiety
You don’t have to think of this as “sex therapy” to belong here. A lot of what brings people to individual sessions is quieter than that — performance anxiety, body-image worries, fear of rejection, not knowing how to ask for what you want, comparing yourself to a partner or to porn, shame that shows up as self-consciousness, or just not being able to stay present when it matters. All of it is welcome here.

FAQs
How do you help clients feel comfortable discussing sensitive or embarrassing topics?
Clients often tell me I have a calm, easy presence to be around. I’ll bring in real-life examples when it’s useful, so you know you’re not the only person who’s ever felt this way, and I try to make sure nothing that comes up in session gets treated as strange, weird, or bad. Confidentiality is the baseline, of course – but with anything private or sensitive, what helps is whether we click quickly enough for you to feel safe.
What values guide your work?
I’ve experienced every kind of trauma myself – physical, sexual, mental, and psychological – and my first instinct has always been to make healing easier for others than it was for me. Growing up, I knew my thoughts and beliefs didn’t line up with my family’s, and watching how my youngest son was treated for being autistic deepened that even more. I really identify with people who don’t fit the mainstream, and that’s part of where my openness around sexuality comes from – moving away from what society calls “acceptable” and focusing on what matters: is it healthy?
Will you offer practical tools, ask reflective questions, or combine both?
Both. I bring exercises and tools to hand you, along with reflective questions – and I’ll challenge a thought or belief when I think it needs pushing back on.
How do you approach topics involving shame, vulnerability, or fear of judgment?
I make sure every client feels accepted, and that their feelings are valid. Most shame comes from what society decided was “shameful” in the first place, so I help separate the generational and societal messaging from what’s healthy, reasonable, and true for you as an individual.
What types of clients do you most enjoy working with?
I especially love working with couples and multi-partner relationships – there are more moving parts, but it’s also that much more rewarding to watch communication, and the relationship, get stronger. I love clients who curse, who are unapologetically themselves, and who can laugh at their own struggles a little – it makes the work easier for everyone. I enjoy helping a woman find real enjoyment in her sexual life, which tends to ripple out into the rest of her life too, and I love when men realize they can be better partners without giving up who they are or being seen as “less manly” for it.
