I’m a Certified Sex Therapist (CST) working with LGBTQ+, kink, and consensual nonmonogamy communities. I help adults get honest about their relationships, sexuality, and patterns. My style is direct, engaged, and fully human—you’ll get honesty, presence, and movement toward change, not passive nodding. We’ll challenge what isn’t working, build communication and boundaries, and create relationships that align with who you are, not who you’ve been told to be. I work with individuals, partners, and polycules, with expertise in sex, intimacy, and nontraditional dynamics. Visit my website to request a consultation and hop on my schedule.

Maybe things feel tense at home lately, between you and your partner, between you and your kids, or all of the above. Arguments seem to happen more often, or there’s a quiet distance that’s hard to name. You’re trying to hold it all together, but underneath the surface there’s frustration, sadness, or just plain exhaustion. Perhaps pararenthood has changed things, maybe you feel like you’ve lost yourselves as a couple, or like you’re stuck in patterns with your children that you can’t seem to shift. Maybe trust has been broken, or old wounds keep showing up in new ways. You're here because something needs to change.

You've spent years being the steady one—highly capable, dependable, and used to carrying responsibility without complaint. From the outside, it looks like you’re functioning just fine, but internally you may feel emotionally disconnected, on edge, exhausted, or stuck in survival mode. Maybe traditional weekly therapy hasn’t quite touched the deeper layers, or you’re tired of “talking about it” without real relief. I work well with adults who’ve lived in high-stress, high-adapting roles and are ready for focused, trauma therapy that helps the nervous system finally stand down.

FAQ - Native American Therapists
What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process. Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.
How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance. If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
