I specialize in helping LGBTQ, CNM, and kink communities navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and self-confidence.
I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or quietly carrying more than they let on. Many are navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, or major life changes and want a place where they can exhale, be heard, and make sense of what they’re feeling. With 11 years of experience, I offer a warm, grounded, client-centered space focused on emotional healing, personal growth, and building practical tools that support lasting stability, confidence, and a stronger sense of self. Together, we work at a pace that feels safe, supportive, and meaningful.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming — you may be carrying stress, grief, or old patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe you’re navigating a life transition, struggling with past hurts, or feeling stuck in your relationships. Perhaps you want clarity, connection, and to be understood. You may long for change but aren't sure where to start.

Therapy can be challenging - it takes courage to look directly at parts of ourselves that we feel ashamed of. Going through this process with someone who gets you can be transformative. I'm deeply curious about how you see the world and work to create an environment where you can be, too. Maybe you have learned to cope with feelings in ways that are hurting you or your relationships. Maybe you're struggling with a tendency to isolate or hurt yourself, with self-hatred, with long-term patterns that you feel hopeless about. Every person has a unique ability to change & grow. The goal of therapy is to remove obstacles to your growth.

I provide sex positive nonjudgmental sex therapy.
Sex is a normal, necessary part of human existence. Ideally, sex makes us feel happy, loved, and connected. Yet many people experience problems with sex including pain, lack of desire, or an inability to reach orgasm. Have you avoided talking to a sex therapist because you are afraid they’ll judge you? I will never judge you. Nothing you say is going to shock me, scare me, or make me stop working with you. Have you ever had a sexual encounter that was other than consentual but you didn't know who to talk to or even what to say about it? If so, I can help you work through your thoughts and feelings about sex and sexual experiences

Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists
Why might an individual want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
A sex-positive or kinky individual may want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist because the client may feel safer and more supported discussing their experiences and challenges. A therapist who identifies as kink-friendly will have experience with clients having diverse sexual preferences and will likely be nonjudgmental and supportive about issues brought to the table. It is important to note that sex-positive, kink-allied individuals may find equal success with therapists who do not have such specialized knowledge and background. The most important factor in the success of therapy is for the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond.

Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in sex-positive, kink-allied treatment?
Generally, no. There are limited training programs and unofficial accreditations that therapists can pursue, but a therapist’s expertise will ultimately come from their previous experience with similar clients, their engagement with organizations that promote sex positivity or kink-allied lifestyles, and the importance they place on safety and cultural sensitivity.

How can individuals recognize a good sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
An experienced therapist is able to help clients explore their sexual identity and expression and relieve any discomfort or stigma attached to discussing such matters and the client’s overall challenges. A therapist who is sex-positive and kink-allied is able to create an environment that honors a client’s experience and sexual preferences. To recognize a good therapist, clients can simply ask directly about topics and issues important to them and gauge their comfort level and connection with a clinician based on the responses.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist with a focus on sex positivity and alternative sexual lifestyles?
Some individuals may feel most comfortable knowing that the clinician they’re working with has a commitment to creating an atmosphere of sex positivity and has experience with relationship diversity and alternative relationship structures. Working with a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist may help clients respect their own challenges and improve identity-affirming treatment.
