I work specifically with adults struggling with sex-related issues. These include, but are not limited to: intimacy issues in relationships; lack of sexual education in young adulthood; infidelity; sexual dysfunction; couples in ethical non-monogamous relationships looking for guidance with communication or other relationships; and individuals who are in the kink, BDSM, LGBTQ+, or sex-work communities and would like informed therapeutic care.
I am the owner of Gold Pomegranate LLC practicing psychotherapy in PA & MD. I studied and have been certified with the Sexual Health Alliance as a kink-informed clinician, and I am a National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) Kink-Aware Professional. I offer a mix of solution-focused therapy with a psychodynamic and trauma-informed approach.
I have worked in in-patient hospitals with patients with severe mood disorders in addition to co-occurring substance treatment facilities. I currently support clients in abstinence, 12-step programs, Smart Recovery, and harm-reduction models. I often suggest readings or videos that may assist with topics we are discussing.

My work focuses on supporting clients with relational issues while integrating mental, sexual, and spiritual well-being. I use a shame-informed approach in order to provide a non-judgmental space so clients can talk about sex and existential issues, the philosophies of kink, and anything in between!

Sex and relationship therapy with an informed, non-judgmental clinician can benefit not just the individual or couple seeking treatment, but the whole family and social circle of those treated. I enjoy working with people who are ready to engage in honest, supportive discussions to address their core needs. I am kink/poly/CNM/SW informed and affirming.

It has been my honor to work with Andi, whose compassion and non-judgmental nature bring comfort to so many clients who may otherwise feel invisible and unable to discuss their needs. I am comfortable referring sexual-health and kink-allied clients to her.

I use a relational, psychodynamic framework, paying importance to the rapport between myself and the client, the client's history, and how that may inform our sessions. I use several tools from DBT & CBT therapies to examine emotion regulation and communication. I also use tools from sexual health educators obtained from my attendance at conferences and continuing education events around the world
