Do you feel overwhelmed and “broken,” trying to fit into the box of who you’re “supposed to be?” Have you been frustrated trying to follow the path others and society expect of you? If you’re struggling with your gender identity, sexuality, relationships (whether monogamous or non-monogamous), or other aspects of self and self-expression, you are not alone. Uncovering and embracing who you are is difficult but rewarding. And as a sex-positive, kink-informed therapist, I have the knowledge and experience to walk with you on that journey.

I am Kink Allied, Sex Positive, & Poly friendly therapist.
I know sometimes it feels like no one can help you. That you are too much, too dark, and too broken to be helped. Sometimes trauma can manifest by cutting, eating disorders, depression, chaos, and a real struggle to maintain friendships. It can be hard to even picture what a stable and consistent life would look like, but it's still something you want. Chaotic feelings feel like they take over you and you struggle to make it through each day. You want to live but still feel suicidal. This is all normal for someone with trauma, someone who has been through abuse, someone who has experienced broken relationships and even toxic ones.

Southeastern Denver, Denver, CO 80222
I love working with people who are struggling with worry and sadness and are looking for a safe space to reconnect with themselves. Clients I work well with often identify as an empath or peacekeeper. They have an honorable capacity for deep thinking and generosity towards others. On the flip side, these strengths can leave people feeling different and drained. We would work well together if you are interested in learning how to turn that empathy inward to ground, feel your feelings, and use the mind to reassure yourself as you make brave, new choices.

Have you noticed you have been struggling to wake and feel confident about what’s ahead? Perhaps you feel no one else really understands? I want to help you on your path to discovering your values and how to achieve them. Life is not meant to be lived on the sidelines, you have everything inside of you to be the author of your life, and I can help you write the story the way YOU want it to be. I don’t think therapy must be a painful experience, or a last resort. Therapy can be something that can offer solutions for what you thought you, maybe, were the only one dealing with.

Why is it that every boss out there is so weird? Why is there always someone on the team who's a "problem child?" And why doesn't any job feel quite right?

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.
