Three things I wish clients knew before starting therapy:

1ļøāƒ£ Therapy only works if the client wants to do the work and is willing to put in the effort.

Growth in therapy requires reflection, honesty, and practice. This means working on things both during sessions and in the time between your appointments.

2ļøāƒ£ Sometimes therapy is really challenging…and sometimes it’s surprisingly fun.

Developing a positive relationship with your therapist is a vital part of the process, so light hearted moments are just as important as the difficult ones.

Just as many of my sessions are filled with tears, many are also filled with laughter.

3ļøāƒ£ As a therapist, I don’t have all the answers. My role isn’t to tell my clients what to do, but to help you uncover clarity on your values, motives, and choices.

I value the autonomy of my clients too much to tell them what decisions to make.

Therapists arguing that banning conversion therapy is an ā€œobstruction of free speech or religionā€ are missing the point entirely.

Conversion therapy is not ā€œspeech.ā€ It’s harm. It’s manipulation wrapped in pseudoscience, often justified by shame, and anti-LGBTQIA+, heteronormative belief systems.

Being q***r or trans is not pathological. There’s no ā€œtreatmentā€ needed to ā€œfixā€ identity, orientation, or expression.

Our role as therapists is to hold space for healing the harm q***r folks experience at the hands of anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment, policies, and discrimination.

Freedom of speech doesn’t protect abuse. Freedom of religion doesn’t give anyone the right to psychologically harm others.

If you’re a mental health professional defending ā€œthe rightā€ to practice conversion therapy—ask yourself what ethical code you think you’re following. Because it sure isn’t ā€œdo no harm.ā€

All the disrespect intended.

I will never be a blank slate, neutral face, type of therapist.

There’s time and space for both seriousness and laughter in therapy.

My care for my clients never wavers, but that doesn’t mean our sessions are always clinical or somber.

There’s room for humor, warmth, and real human connection in the work we do together. That’s one of the reasons I love my job.

If you choose to work with me, know that you’re choosing a therapist who can challenge, support, encourage, and laugh with you.

I offer authentic reactions, thoughtful transparency, practical guidance—and sometimes, a necessary dose of reality.

Because therapy isn’t separate from real life… it mirrors it. šŸŖžāœØ

My spouse, Tiiu, and I are celebrating 5 years of marriage today.

We certainly didn’t have the wedding we expected, thanks to Covid. Regardless, our elopement is a day I’ll happily remember forever.

I’m so grateful to have had them as my partner through the many ups and downs over the last 5 years, and many more within our nearly 12 total years together.

I don’t post about them too often on my professional account… but they wholly deserve the recognition.

Even though I’m a couples therapist, I don’t think I’m always the easiest person to love or be with. (Surprise?!) šŸ˜‚šŸ˜…

I thrive in clutter and chaos, while my partner is incredibly tidy. I feel deeply and often take things personally, while Tiiu is quite even-keeled. I’m anxious and at my worst can be pretty horribly pessimistic, and they are the eternal optimist.

Despite all this, they always manage to make me feel loved AND liked.

The world we exist in feels ever challenging, but there’s so much relief in not facing it alone.

I will forever treasure our laughter, idiosyncrasies, adventures, and pursuit of growth together.

I hope everyone is lucky enough to have a partner like this.

Make no mistake, I love being a therapist.

I’m honored by the trust my clients place in me, and I’m deeply grateful to hold space with them, even during the most pressing times.

I once thought the spring of 2020 would be the darkest season of my career. Covid filled my sessions and personal life with fear, isolation, and hopelessness.

But somehow, what we’re living through now feels even heavier.

There’s no ā€œtaking a breakā€ from politics as a therapist. Ignorance isn’t a luxury I can afford. My clients and I are scared. We’re worried about our rights, safety, and futures.

Even the most wonderful jobs have their challenges and bad days. I’m not afraid to admit that it’s been more challenging to do this work lately.

At the same time, I never take sessions for granted. I find solidarity and connection in holding space together.

To my fellow clinicians, please take care of yourselves in the ways you can, as you support your own clients. ā¤ļø

Pleasure isn’t scary šŸ‘»āœØ

But do you know what is?!

Fear-based, abstinence only s*x education programs.

Did you know that 5ļøāƒ£7ļøāƒ£ % of women surveyed admitted they don’t know as much about women’s anatomy as they should?!

If you’ve ever felt misinformed, broken, or confused about how your body works — you’re not alone!

Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski is a game-changer. It explains how s*xual response really works, why stress & context matter, and that nothing about you is wrong.

As an AASECT certified s*x therapist and Clinical S*xologist, this is the number one book I recommend to AFAB clients who are struggling with their relationship with intimacy and pleasure.
