    It is also important to make sure they have the knowledge, training, and experience working in the area(s) that you hope to address in therapy.

  • If it’s your first time seeing a therapist, then you have already taken an important and brave step to seek out support to help you navigate whatever is happening in your life right now.

    Therapy can be difficult at times as you examine past experiences, uncomfortable feelings, and patterns in your life. However, with the right support many people experience meaningful personal healing, growth, and transformation through therapy.

    I believe the most important thing to ensuring the best possible therapy outcomes, is to make sure that you feel comfortable opening up and sharing honestly with your therapist and that they have experience and training in the areas you hope to address.

  • If you are new to Cultivative Therapy, then the first step is to schedule a free 15 minute video call with me to determine if we are a good fit to work together toward your therapeutic goals.

    If we determine we are a good match for working together, then we will schedule your first session at the end of the introductory call.

    After that, you can log into your client portal to schedule sessions online.

  • Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy that focuses on improving sexual health, knowledge, identity, functioning, and overall satisfaction.

    Sex therapy can be beneficial for any partnered or non-partnered person, and couples who want to better understand themselves, sexually, and access greater levels of pleasure and intimacy.

    It is important to note that sex therapy never involves physical touch and/or sexual contact between client and therapist.
