Specialties
A specialty is an area of study to which a professional has devoted extensive energy in developing deeper knowledge, training and education.
Sex-Positive Parenting: I work with parents/caregivers in supporting and educating their children through a sex-positive lens. Topics commonly explored include: Education around the importance of sex-positivity in children's lives; understanding the cultural implications of shame on sexuality; understanding impact of family sexual history; and discussing sexuality with children.
Sexuality Across the Lifespan: I work with clients to help them learn about their sexuality and understand it in context to their past, present and future development. Sexuality plays a significant role in each human developmental stage. However, cultural and moral beliefs limit how sexuality is treated and expressed based on age, gender, race, ability, class and other identities.
Diversity in Sexual Expression: I work with clients to help them explore their sexuality, ranging from identity to expression, to transition, pod-mapping and accessing affirming healthcare and community services. Sexual expression can include identities, behaviors, and/or characteristics. Common identities include 2SLGBTQIA+ people, polyamorous and consensually nonmonogamous people, kinky people and people with non-sexual identities.
Sexuality & Disability: I work with clients who wish to explore the intersecting realms of sexuality and disability. Common themes that arise include: Supporting sexuality through an access-centered lens, expanding sex education, exploring sexual identity and expression while combatting that stigmatized ways disabled people have been pigeon-holed within sexuality (abuse/victimization, purity, etc.); and unpacking ways that ableism and erotophobia stop disabled people from developing and maintaining intimacy/relationships.
Perinatal Mental & Sexual Health: I work with clients along the full-spectrum of perinatal health: From looking to become pregnant, to the full experience of pregnancy, to years postpartum. I support all pregnancy outcomes. Common themes that arise include: Myths about pregnancy and sexuality, fluctuations in sexual interest and desire, and the connection between body-image and self-esteem.
Areas of Focus
An area of focus is a specific theme, topic, or community that a professional has an interest in serving.
2SLGBTQIA+ People: The 2SLGBTQIA+ community is broad and diverse, including sexually and gender diverse people. Common labels and identity markers include: Two-spirit, transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, gender-fluid, demi-gender and agender; gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, and demi-sexual and asexual; and homoromantic, bi-romantic, pan-romantic, demi-romantic and aromantic.
Sexually Marginalized Communities: People who have been historically discriminated against, dismissed and erased from the sexual narrative in Western societies. Sexually marginalized communities include people engaging in sex work, polyamory, consensual nonmonogamy, kink/BDSM communities and people existing in large or fat bodies.
Disabled, Neurodivergent & Older Communities: People with visible and invisible disabilities, chronic illnesses, neurodivergent brains, and/or are in the later parts of their life. While these are broad and different communities that intersect, they're all sexually stereotyped based on ability. Ability status is not a static identity; all people have access needs that will evolve across the lifespan.
