Individual Therapy

For the parts of you that got exiled and are ready to come back into relationship with the rest of your life.

Some of the most important relational work happens alone — with your own history, your own body, your own desire, and your own understanding of who you are versus who you were taught you should be.

“The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.”

― Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Book a Consultation

There's a particular hunger that brings people here alone. Not to be fixed, but to be witnessed. To have someone see the parts of you that got exiled: saying yes when you meant no, the relationship to money or power that quietly runs your life without your consent. These themes don't just show up. For many people, they've been writing the story for years, especially for those of us navigating the daily, unglamorous work of surviving racialized capitalism.

Like any ecology, this work moves in cycles — some fast, some so slow they're almost imperceptible. I am here to witness your experience of these cycles, to recognize the patterns, to support you in reaching for what matters most, to tend to your soft being where it deserves witness, tending, and care.

I offer in-person sessions in Arcata and telehealth throughout California. Where appropriate, I offer Coaching nationally and globally.

Familiar Themes

  • Money, power, and erotic identity — especially people whose livelihood is entangled with their body or relational self

  • Navigating power dynamics in relationships, personal and professional

  • Sexual shame and the aftermath of religious or cultural orthodoxy

  • Desire — its presence, absence, confusion, or conflict with personal values

  • Queer identity, coming out (or coming out again!), and integration at any age

  • Gender identity and transition support at any age

  • Attachment patterns and how they organize love, desire, and self-protection

  • Sexual trauma and the ways it shapes intimacy and relationship

  • Psychedelic integration — especially experiences touching sexuality or identity

  • Asexuality and demisexuality in a world that assumes desire

  • Loneliness and the grief of not having the relationships you want

  • Dating after loss, divorce, or significant relational change

  • Body image and embodiment (HAES informed-provider)

  • Sexuality and chronic illness, disability, or body change

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. My work began there, and that origin shaped everything I do — but I now work with anyone navigating the intersection of sex, money, power, and desire, whatever that looks like in your life.

  • Yes. Many individual clients are not in relationships or are working on something unrelated to a current partner. Individual therapy is for your relationship with yourself, even if you are partnered.

  • Heck yeah! I work with trans, nonbinary, gender expansive, two-spirit, and questioning people of ALL ages navigating identity, transition, and the relational and erotic dimensions of gender. I work in-and-outside of medical models of gender identity.

  • Yes. Confidentiality is a foundational part of any therapeutic relationship, and I'm experienced working with people who carry additional layers of exposure or visibility in their lives.

  • This page is written for individual work, and yes — if you're navigating jealousy, comparison, or confusion about your partner's work and what it means about your relationship, this is exactly the kind of thing I help untangle.

  • Oh yes! People raised in traditions where shame, prohibition, or surveillance shaped their relationship to sexuality are a significant part of this practice. The work of separating your actual values from inherited ones takes time and deserves care.

  • No, I don't accept insurance. Being out of pocket lets me offer sliding scale. I can provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement if your plan allows it. Sessions are eligible for payment with Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds; psychotherapy is a qualified medical expense. I can provide documentation (a superbill) if your provider requires it for reimbursement or verification.

  • warm, direct, and deeply practical. I believe in the wisdom of your experience and your body. I use evidence-based practices tailored to your unique needs.
