Let’s talk about sex. Let’s talk about money. Let’s dismantle taboos and unlearn the fear and shame so commonly intertwined in these areas of life. In a world that constantly pressures us to sacrifice our wellness for production’s sake, it can be a challenge to nourish the relationships you have to your Self and/or your partner(s). I can help you release the capitalist scripts that stop you from creating fulfilling connections. I’m most passionate about working with folx who are queer, kinky, polyamorous/ENM, and/or in relationships navigating interracial dynamics, mixed orientations, disability and other relational diversities.
My background in sex therapy and financial therapy uniquely positions me to help folx navigate these common challenges: desire discrepancy, cultivating sexual or financial intimacy, resolving money conflicts, overcoming betrayal or infidelity, processing sexual or financial trauma, and sexual/relational identity exploration (polyamory, kink, etc.).
For those looking for holistic care, some clients choose to incorporate my experience as an astrologer and tarot reader into our work together. The whole of my practice is in the pursuit of liberation and helping you foster sexual, financial, and spiritual wellness. If you're interested in starting a therapeutic journey together, I invite you to reach out!

A trusted coworker, Janay is a great therapist for anyone needing to explore the more "taboo" topics about relationships and money. I really appreciate her progressive curiosity with clients while navigating oppressive systems, queerness, and spirituality.

Janay's warmth and curiosity makes her easy to talk to. She is wise & experienced, especially in providing relationship & sex therapy. I recommend Janay to anyone - most of all to queer and ENM folks - wanting to understand themselves & communicate better.
