The therapy room can be an intimidating space, so I encourage clients to bring themselves in with them. Is there a song that describes how you’re feeling? A character from a TV show that you relate to? I know from experience that being able to experiment creatively can help tap into a part of yourself that doesn’t usually come to the forefront. Let’s do a coloring page, mold some clay, or do anything else that helps you connect to yourself. If you’re not sure what’s fun for you, that’s okay, too. Let’s discover that together.

For adult clients, I would love to explore your relationship with sex as an extension of play and fun. Whether it’s by yourself, with a partner, or with multiple partners, you deserve to know what makes you feel good, and to tear down any barriers that are preventing you from accessing that.

Regardless of age, I believe in using genuineness and humor in the counseling process. I want therapy to be something you look forward to, not something that feels like a chore. If that sounds interesting to you, shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.
