Looking for a therapist who understands poly/ENM relationships, LGBTQIA+ identities, and BDSM/kink? Are you dealing with stress, overwhelm, and anxiety? Healing from trauma and trying to strengthen your sense of self-worth? Frustrated with sex or relationship issues? If you’re ready for a change, but not sure where to start, welcome.
Whether you’re missing the intimacy you used to enjoy, feeling stuck in irritable patterns with longterm partners, or new to non-monogamy and feeling jealous when your partner is out on a date, working with an affirming therapist can help you work through it all to create change and find balance.
I specialize in sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, poly/ENM-friendly, & BDSM/kink-knowledgeable therapy because I know how important it is to be able to talk about these parts of your identity. We’ll work together in individual or couples/relationship sessions to process, heal, reduce anxiety, and help you find confidence in yourself and your relationships.
My style is relational and warm, but direct. Laughter, tears, swearing, dark humor, movie references, and stories about your pets are all welcome in our sessions! I offer in-person & telehealth talk therapy, EMDR, and art therapy. If you’re ready to get started, contact me through Psychology Today, or visit my website to schedule a free consultation call.
