You have a right to fulfilling, healing, safe and pleasurable relationships. It is my passion and privilege to partner with you in unlocking this capacity; I believe you already hold this within yourself.

About Olivia

I believe all people are worthy of compassionate care and deserving of love and fulfilling relationships. I am passionate about working together with folks to bring you closer to your most free, pleasurable, healed and erotic self. If it has to do with sex, intimacy, or relationships, I might be a great fit for you.

I offer an energetic space that is sex-positive and free from judgment. You can explore anything with me including, all of your needs, hurts, curiosities and desires. We will work together to uncover what we can welcome into your life and partnerships to become your fullest, most authentic sexual self. We can work together on issues such as, relationship development or repair, sexual behavior that may feel out of control, conscious uncoupling, men’s or women’s sexual functioning, sexual trauma, self-esteem.

In our shared therapy journey, my goal is to help you reach your goals by leaning into the tools that will help you most; always seeking to be curious, warm, empathic, present and genuine. I am deeply passionate about social justice and doing the next right thing; I am committed to exploring these challenges with you and the unique impact sex, gender, race, culture and past experiences have had on your life. Therapy with me is based in a dynamic, holistic partnership, influenced by nonviolent compassionate communication, trust based relational interventions, somatic, mindful and solution-focused and cognitive behavioural therapeutic approaches, all with room for personality and humor when comfortable and appropriate. I use a varied approach, informed by a systems, adult attachment and emotions focused process, where we can explore the wisdom of the mind and body on your journey to security and comfort. I also offer walk-and-talk therapy, for those who find movement helpful in processing emotions or thoughts.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my dog or connecting with my family and friends. I find time in nature observing my surroundings or moving my body, and time being creative through watercolor painting, macrame or throwing pottery on my wheel, to be rejuvenating. I look forward to meeting you!
