I’m taking new clients Mondays - Thursdays. Are you exploring non-monogamy, want to strengthen communication, or seeking deeper relationships and intimacy? Are you navigating kink, repairing trust, or untangling shame that keeps you from fully embracing your sexuality? Many of my clients are queer, neurodivergent, kinky, or non-monogamous adults who have felt misunderstood or criticized in past therapy. They want a therapist who welcomes their identities without judgment, affirms their desires, and helps them create relationships that reflect their values. I work with individuals, couples/polycules. Let’s schedule a free consult.
I provide a collaborative, shame-free space to explore identity, relationships, sexuality, and trauma. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent, poly, kinky, and queer adults as they navigate consent, communication, and connection. Using trauma-informed and somatic approaches, I help clients reclaim pleasure, rebuild trust, and feel safe in their bodies.
Therapy is not about fixing who you are, it’s about helping you feel more fully yourself. If you’ve longed for a space where your sexuality, relationships, and identities are affirmed without judgment, I’d love to connect. Together we can create a path toward safety, intimacy, and pleasure on your own terms. Email me to set up a free Zoom consultation.
