Mallory has sought out extensive training in the areas of sexuality-informed and trauma-informed care; making healthy, intimate relationships her bread and butter. Intimacy is defined as "closeness". And many times, we, as humans, struggle to engage in closeness with those we love, and even ourselves. One of Mallory's favorite quotes is from John Townsend which states, "Everything significant starts with relationship."

​

Mallory believes this connection between people is where both wounds and healing occur. She strives to make the therapy room and therapeutic relationship one of safety, trust, connection, and joy (even in the midst of the pain being worked through).

​

Within her expertise, Mallory enjoys working with individuals and couples.  Mallory’s area of focus includes: intimacy issues, healthy sexuality, women’s health issues, the perinatal and postpartum years, betrayal recovery, desire discrepancy, sexual pain and dysfunctions, infertility, relationships, boundaries, healing from trauma and abuse, and healthy family relationships and systems.

 

Through both personal and professional experiences, Mallory also enjoys working with fostering and adoptive parents; honoring and holding the complex grief that is a part of that dynamic.​​
