FAQs
Here are some things people often wonder — maybe one of them is yours.)
Do I need a clear goal to begin?
No. Many people start therapy with uncertainty or questions. We can begin with whatever feels present now.
Is this a space for LGBTQ+ clients?
Yes. I welcome clients of all genders, sexualities, identities and relationship styles. You don’t need to explain or justify who you are.
What if I want to talk about sex, but feel awkward or unsure?
That’s completely okay. You don’t need to know how to say it, or even be sure it’s something you want to talk about yet. We can move at your pace, and if or when it feels right, there’s space for those conversations.
I feel nervous. Does that mean I’m not ready?
Not at all. Starting therapy often brings up nerves or hesitation. We can go at a pace that feels manageable.
What if I want different things to my partner and don’t know how to say it?
That can be a confusing and vulnerable place to be. We can look at how to make space for your voice and needs, even when they feel hard to name.
Why do I keep ending up in the same kind of relationship?
That’s a common experience. We can explore the deeper patterns that might be shaping your choices and look at what could open up new possibilities.
What if I struggle to talk about feelings?
That’s very common. You don’t need to have the right words. We can work together to find a way of exploring that feels comfortable for you.
What if there are things I’ve never said out loud before?
You don’t have to start with the hardest stuff. Therapy can be a place to gradually make room for parts of your experience that haven’t had much space before
What if I like sex but struggle with intimacy, or the other way around?
We can explore how these experiences show up for you and what might be getting in the way of feeling more connected, physically, emotionally or both.
How long does therapy take?
That’s different for everyone. Some people work short term, others stay longer. We’ll review things regularly to make sure it’s feeling right for you.
I’m into kink. Do I have to explain or justify that?
No need. I work in a sex positive and nonjudgmental way. You’re welcome to bring your full self, including the parts that might feel more hidden elsewhere.
If you’re curious about something not covered here or still sitting with a question, that could be a good place to begin.
