Many adults reach a point where they are managing work, relationships, or family responsibilities, yet feel increasingly exhausted, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. They may be getting through each day and meeting expectations, but when things slow down, it becomes harder to ignore that something isn’t working. This can show up as burnout, feeling overwhelmed, or unappreciated, loneliness, or repeating patterns they don’t fully understand. They often know something feels off and want a way forward.

I work with adults who want to address anxiety, depression, and interpersonal challenges. My therapeutic approach is catered for each client.
I specialize in anxiety disorders, including GAD, social anxiety, and perinatal/postpartum anxiety. I use evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) to help my clients learn how to navigate unhelpful thoughts, learn new ways of thinking, and regulate their nervous system. Much of therapy includes also helping my clients try new things that are anxiety-provoking for them, in order to overcome their fears/worries.

You may be overthinking decisions, struggling to set boundaries, or unsure of your next step. Many of my clients are looking for clarity, balance, and the confidence to move forward feeling grounded and in control of their lives.

Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists
Why might an individual want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
A sex-positive or kinky individual may want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist because the client may feel safer and more supported discussing their experiences and challenges. A therapist who identifies as kink-friendly will have experience with clients having diverse sexual preferences and will likely be nonjudgmental and supportive about issues brought to the table. It is important to note that sex-positive, kink-allied individuals may find equal success with therapists who do not have such specialized knowledge and background. The most important factor in the success of therapy is for the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond.
Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in sex-positive, kink-allied treatment?
Generally, no. There are limited training programs and unofficial accreditations that therapists can pursue, but a therapist’s expertise will ultimately come from their previous experience with similar clients, their engagement with organizations that promote sex positivity or kink-allied lifestyles, and the importance they place on safety and cultural sensitivity.
How can individuals recognize a good sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
An experienced therapist is able to help clients explore their sexual identity and expression and relieve any discomfort or stigma attached to discussing such matters and the client’s overall challenges. A therapist who is sex-positive and kink-allied is able to create an environment that honors a client’s experience and sexual preferences. To recognize a good therapist, clients can simply ask directly about topics and issues important to them and gauge their comfort level and connection with a clinician based on the responses.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist with a focus on sex positivity and alternative sexual lifestyles?
Some individuals may feel most comfortable knowing that the clinician they’re working with has a commitment to creating an atmosphere of sex positivity and has experience with relationship diversity and alternative relationship structures. Working with a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist may help clients respect their own challenges and improve identity-affirming treatment.
