sex therapy for questioning individuals

If you’re questioning your sexual identity, or what to call it, or how to explain it to those you love, I’m here to support you. There is no question too embarassing and no part of you that you have to hide.

You deserve support now (you don’t have to do it alone!).

Traumatic events can lead to a complex array of emotional, psychological, and relational challenges. You may struggle with feelings of shame, guilt, anger, or disbelief. You might experience difficulties in relationships, intimacy, or self-worth.

It's important to know that these responses are understandable and that healing is possible.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by the number of requirements for obtaining your LCSW,  deciphering clinical supervision requirements in Colorado, or about how to get started with clinical supervision to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I understand, and I’m here to help.

Sex Therapy for Baby Queer and LGBTQ+ folx in Colorado

Exploring and understanding your sexual identity in isolation after creating a life around heterosexual and/or cisgender norms can be overwhelming.

You do not have to figure it all out on your own.

I will help you explore and then integrate your queer identity with the rest of your life, even when it feels scary.

The payoff is queer joy, and it’s worth it.

If you are feeling “new” or “behind” to being queer, I got you.

It’s common for LGBTQ+ people to come out as adults. You are not “too late.
