Society can be overflowing with expectations, guilt, and shame…but it doesn’t have to. What would it be like if you understood and trusted that you are the expert on your life, your experiences, your relationships, your identity? What if you accepted your intrinsic value without toxic shame or isolation holding you back? Imagine a space where you are free from judgment and encouraged to explore your sexual, spiritual, and physical experience, to deconstruct toxic messages about your existence, and to find genuine fulfillment in your life.
Talking about intimacy and identity can be daunting. Being part of or interested in anything outside of cis-heteronormative monogamous culture can be isolating and terrifying. As a registered Kink-Aware Professional with the NCSF, I provide trauma-informed, sex-positive therapy for the kink, fetish, BDSM, and ethically non-monogamous communities.
With a strong emphasis on personal and relational growth and empowerment, I seek to work collaboratively to help individuals, couples, families, and other relationships embrace the most authentic, healthy version of themselves. I strive to meet you where you are and help you find the freedom and empowerment that you deserve.

Investing in therapy is investing in your own well-being. As an out-of-network provider, I can provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. Feel free to reach out with any questions as I seek to make therapy as accessible as possible.
