For those struggling with relationship issues, I integrate various sex-positive and kink -friendly techniques to help individuals/couples achieve their goals.
As a clinical social worker, I help individuals and couples who are struggling with a wide range of emotional and interpersonal problems, such as but not limited to depression, anxiety, grief, family stressors and relationship, commitment, and sexual issues. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering space for people to explore the depths of their emotions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so that they may identify patterns and potential barriers that could inhibit their personal growth and emotional development.

I specialize in gender & sexuality, intimacy/attachment issues, trauma, grief, chronic illness/disability, polyamory/ENM, kink , masculinity, religion, intergenerational trauma, and marginalization.
Are you caught between multiple or competing identities, beliefs, and desires? Are you struggling to heal from trauma, overcome despair, or set healthy boundaries? Do you find yourself socially or politically misunderstood by those around you, or repeating the same, unsatisfying patterns in work, friendship, and relationships? Together we can explore all this in a collaborative, non-judgemental, and curious way. All feelings and beliefs are welcome, no matter how confusing or contradictory they may seem at first. I believe that the best therapy is affirming yet challenging, and built on trust, joy, and humor.
