Not at all. I am a general counsellor first and foremost. I am comfortable and happy to talk about things other than sex. Topics I have worked with frequently outside of sexual concerns include: eating disorders, anxiety, transition periods, family dynamics, friendships, etc
-
I like to describe sex therapy as good ole classic therapy, but with specialized knowledge around sexuality and intimacy that I’m privileged to share with clients.
I often explain it with a metaphor: imagine therapy as a computer screen, where sexual concerns make up only a few pixels. While those pixels may feel incredibly painful, overwhelming, or all-consuming, my role is to zoom out and look at the whole screen in order to understand what may be contributing to distress within those sex-related pixels.
Because of this, sex therapy often looks much like other forms of therapy. Together, we may explore many aspects of your life both related and unrelated to sex, as all of it helps me better understand how these concerns developed, what may be keeping them in place, and how we can work together toward greater relief, empowerment, connection, and joy.
-
I bring honesty, compassion, directness, and humor into the therapy room. I believe laughter can help ease tension and create lightness during difficult conversations, while also being transparent and honest about what I believe is going on and how you as a client may take steps to improve/look at things differently.
-
Due to regulations in different provinces and countries I am only able to work with clients who currently live or have a permanent address in BC or ON, Canada or one of the unregulated provinces (i.e., Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Saskatchewan, Yukon, and Nunavut).
