My practice offers affirming psychotherapy and sex therapy for individuals, couples, multiple-partner relationships, and poly and leather families, both in-person and remotely. I am an expert in alternative sexualities, and my team and I specialize in working with adults in the kink/BDSM, polyamorous/non-monogamous, trans/gender-nonconforming/non-binary, LGBQIA+, and sex work communities. We work with those who live openly and out; and those who have more conservative and private lifestyles. We welcome people of every ability, age, gender, national origin, race/ethnicity, religious affiliation, and sexual orientation.
My therapeutic approach is holistic, person-centered, and collaborative. People tend to work with me for: a deeper understanding of identity or sexuality; difficulty adjusting to relationship difficulties or traumatic experiences; anxiety and/or depression; sexual functioning issues; compulsive thoughts or behavior; and/or changes in relationship structure.
Beyond being kink-, nonmonogamy-, and LGBTQ-supportive and affirming, my life has intersected with all of these communities. In addition to doctoral level professional training, I have personal experience dealing with and a strong understanding of the issues, behaviors, and practices related to a wide range of identifications and relationships.
