Now taking new clients! If you're looking to develop tools to regulate your emotions, communicate more effectively, and improve your connections with the people in your life, you've come to the right place. I work with clients who identify as poly, queer, kinky, and trans. I help clients learn to navigate complex poly dynamics through setting healthier boundaries and work through jealousy, fear, or insecurity. If you'd like to have your partners understand you better or set different expectations within your sexual or romantic relationships (poly, open, or mono), reach out to get started with me!
I love working on emotions and communication with clients who identify as poly and kinky. I'm passionate about providing informed support and education, staying current on trainings and resources. My clients come to work on issues related to identity and lifestyle, but also stressors such as communication, boundaries, and mood.
Starting therapy can be intimidating. I create a warm, safe environment for us to get to know each other. This is a place with no judgments, just two people having a collaborative conversation, working toward your goals. If you're looking to learn and grow as a person, email me to schedule an appointment!
