My areas of specialty are the following: sexual dysfunctions; relationship issues related to sex; compulsive sexual behavior; GSERD clients; queer clients; Kink/BDSM and fetish; Alt Sex; and monogamy/polyamory/ambiamory/ethical non-monogamy.
You want a competent sex and relationship therapist who knows what to do for your situation and gets right to the point. Experience and education matter to you because sex, sexuality, and your relationship(s) are important and you are struggling and stressed, and you are nervous about finding a therapist, especially a SEX therapist. You don't even know where to start.
Maybe you are in your own individual or relationship therapy but sex and sexuality aren't being attended to or you are seeking additional consultation from a specialist. Or maybe your desires are guiding you to something new and exciting and you need support.

I strive to foster a safe environment for all clients through trauma informed care that is sex-positive, culturally grounded, kink informed, and LGBTQIA+ affirming.
You are the expert on your own life, and my job is to help you interpret your experiences to find a way of living that serves you. With couples or individuals, I help clients identify the beliefs and behaviors they want to prioritize while adapting behaviors that may no longer serve them in the life they want to live.
In my work with couples, I offer guidance in finding new ways to approach communication and conflict resolution with an emphasis on context over content. I believe most problems are not inherent, and sometimes a change in perspective can offer clarity in approaching issues that may otherwise feel insurmountable.

I help clients heal from trauma, navigate relationships with themselves and others, and explore sexual identities and interests in kink/BDSM.
You've always been the "strong one", right? Maybe you’re feeling stuck and overwhelmed because past experiences are blocking you from fully connecting with others, and most importantly, yourself. Maybe you’re hiding sexual or kinky desires and feel lost in how to share these with your partner(s) or even accept them yourself. Maybe you just need someone to vent to. That’s ok! You have taken the most courageous step by asking for help, and that is exactly where I will meet you.

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.
