Polyamory and ENM Therapists in Washington, DC
Sex, though so often experienced in silence, is can be impacted by and impact all facets of life. Because of that, my clients are often feeling disconnected, anxious about their desire, or unsure how to communicate what they really need in sex or relationships. They want to understand why things feel “off,” why intimacy feels harder than it used to, or why they can’t seem to get on the same page with their partner. They’re seeking clarity, confidence, and a way back to feeling chosen, desired, and understood. Most of all, they want a safe place to explore their sexual self without shame.

I am a mental health and school counselor passionate about supporting the growth of children and young adults. I am experienced with both school-age children, young adults, and adults. I have also spent a lifetime in the world of professional dance and the creative arts. My experience in dance and the body highly influences my therapeutic lens. I view integration of body and mind through multi-sensory modalities as integral to client growth. I take an integrative approach to my work; in one session we may talk, play, draw, explore the sand tray, or move. Some moments may be more directive and some may be client-led.

My books, Kink For Dummies, Polyamory For Dummies, and Great Sex: Mapping Your Desire, are based on a sexual liberation workshops I've offered on campuses and at LGBTQ+ rights conferences in the US and around the world.
I've been a queer feminist activist for 30 years - my collaborators hail from all over the US, China, South Africa, South Korea, Russia, and Egypt. They've helped me fully understand that each person's sexuality journey is entirely your own. Many of us bury the truth of our desires out of shame or in an effort to please our partners or fit in.

I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationships, sex therapy, sexuality and gender identity, LGBTQIA+, kink/BDSM and polyamory/ENM.
I primarily approach this work from a trauma-informed, strengths-based therapy lens that thoughtfully integrates the use of attachment work, EMDR, DBT, narrative, sex therapy, ACT, mindfulness and somatic/body based practices, allowing us to move beyond insight alone—supporting change that is felt, not just understood.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and doctoral student in Counselor Education and Supervision, with a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Master of Arts in Religion. My work exists at the intersection of lived experience, rigorous clinical training, and a lifelong study of anthropology, theology, philosophy, and the human search for meaning.

My ideal client is an individual looking to reclaim their voice in a world that often overlooks or misunderstands them. They’re navigating burnout, self-doubt, and the pressure to shrink or overperform. They want space to be seen, affirmed, and supported as their full selves. Their goal is to live with authenticity, set boundaries, and build a life rooted in joy, purpose, and self-trust—on their own terms. I specialize in helping women, LGBTQ+, and the BIPOC community. I am deeply committed to supporting the immigrant community and advocating for immigrants' rights. I strive to provide culturally sensitive care.

I offer a unique opportunity to articulate who you are and how you came to be. This is essential if you are serious about changing your lot and freeing your desires. At psychAmerica it is your mind that lies at the heart of what matters, your words that reveal the “inarticulate speech of the heart". To this end, Psychamerica facilitates a “detour thru your mind”. A de-tour can be a roundabout route taken in order to avoid an obstacle, like the everyday coping mechanisms we use to avoid unadressed. Yet a de-tour can also be a route by which something is visited on the way to our destination, fundamentally changing our destiny.

In my clinical work, I view the relationship between patient and therapist as central to treatment. The need for trust, privacy, safety, and non-judgmental acceptance is fundamental to the success of treatment. My theoretical orientation is psychodynamic or psychoanalytic, though I rely on an eclectic range of ideas for understanding each person. Patients experience my approach as insight-oriented, dynamic, and interactive.
When a person seeks therapy it is because something hurts - a broken relationship, past or present, or deep frustrations with the self - not being able to live up to one's ideals or accomplish goals.

I believe that each person has an innate ability to heal from trauma and pain. Events from the past can impact our mind and body in the present- sometimes getting in the way of current relationships and goals. I offer a safe space to tap into transformative healing, self-exploration, and personal growth. My clients bring an array of issues to therapy including trauma, addiction, sexual difficulties, relationship challenges, self-injury, and dissociation. I work collaboratively, recognizing that each client brings their own unique strengths to the work.
