Let's Connect (347) 960-5418

Welcome! If you’re queer, trans, nonbinary, questioning, neurodivergent, kinky, poly, or otherwise inclined to resist mainstream narratives of mental health and well-being, then I may be the right fit for you. Amidst a culture of relentless political persecution I offer an oasis of calm, compassion and creative self-reflection. I have over a decade of experience working as a body-neutral and LGBTQ+ affirming sex educator, as well as working with queer and trans youth of color. I take great pleasure in assisting others with dismantling internalized forms of oppression and critically reframing their experiences with radical self-love.

As a sex therapist, I have extensive education and experience in human sex, sexuality and gender studies, working with various sexually and erotically-marginalized populations, ethical non-monogamy and polyamorous relationships, kink, sex workers, and with sexual (dys)function.

In addition to my work as a clinician, I am also a musician, drag artist, and Tarot reader. The arts and spirituality at large inform much of my client-centered work. Together, we will develop your own unique game plan for all the ups and downs of your world!
