I work with LGBT people with kinky sexual and erotic orientations, especially daddy-boy couples and those who are ABDL-identified with diaper fetishes. As a sexologist, podcaster, and Research Affiliate at The Alternative Sexualities Health Research Alliance (TASHRA), I appreciate the need for privacy and discretion among members of my kink communities, and I work exclusively in a private office and by telehealth from DTLA.

As a psychotherapist specializing in kink, leather, ABDL, BDSM, and the LGBT community, as well as alternative sexualities, I use psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), and somatic mindfulness approaches to support individuals and couples to navigate the journey to personal and erotic and romantic realization.

I received training in sexology at Cornell University, where I received the NIMH Ruth L. Kirtschstein National Research Service Award (F31). I pursued two postdoctoral fellowships in the departments of psychiatry at Thomas Jefferson University Sidney Kimmel Medical College and University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School. I am also a Vassar graduate.
