Hi I’m Bailey (she/her/hers) and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. Welcome to my page! I provide individual and couples therapy for adults facing a variety of issues with a specialty in healthy sexuality and relationships. You are brave and courageous for reaching out to start therapy! You are the expert on your life and I am here to help you better understand yourself and the stories you tell yourself. I want you to feel heard, safe, and comfortable in our sessions.
I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is vital for effective therapy. My goal is to help you feel empowered. You can expect compassion, curiosity, humor, and directness as part of our work together. I practice from a sex-positive lens and discussing communication, healthy boundaries, and self-acceptance are common themes in my work. I welcome clients of all relationship styles and backgrounds. I strive to create a space where you can feel safe to be vulnerable and share your true self free from fear of judgment. I encourage you to be authentically you in our sessions!
I have experience and offer services to adult individuals or couples who are experiencing the following concerns:
Sexual Health
Sexual Desire and Functioning
Relationship Conflicts
Interpersonal Distress
Maladaptive Sexual Behaviors
Desire Discrepancy
Gender and Sexuality
Guilt and Shame
Consensual Non-monogamy
Kink/BDSM
Life Transitions
Adjustment issues
Emotional distress
Body Image Issues
Low Self-Esteem
Sessions with me include a collaborative approach, intertwining narrative therapy, solution focused, experiential, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I can’t wait to help you through whatever is making you feel stuck, whether it be in yourself or in the important relationships in your life. Together we will push through to the other side and help you feel strong, empowered, educated, and capable in yourself and in your relationships!
I am a self proclaimed bibliophile and love to read and listen to audiobooks from B.A. Paris and Fredrik Backman, to Brene Brown. In my free time I enjoy rock climbing with my sister as well as spending time with my partner, daughter, and dogs!
