My ideal clients are adults navigating the effects of past traumas, difficult relationships, or major life transitions.

Together, we work at a pace that feels safe, combining EMDR, CBT, and narrative approaches so clients can process the past, calm their nervous system, and reconnect with their own strengths. My goal is to help every client leave sessions feeling steadier, clearer, and more grounded in themselves.

Some of us have waited our whole lives to be received with intelligent compassion. Being heard and feeling deeply understood matters. When it happens, we know it – we can sense it viscerally. It helps us begin to make sense of our histories, our thoughts and feelings, of inevitable changes and life challenges, of successes and failures. I strive to create such an environment, to listen carefully with my mind and my heart to what is said and to what may still be un-sayable. I strive to help you heal old emotional wounds of many kinds, face current challenges with curiosity, and create lasting changes for a better future.

I'm JP — a queer, non-binary therapist of Mexican heritage, and someone who came to understand themselves later in life than most. I've navigated depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember, and receiving an autism and ADHD diagnosis as an adult reframed a lot of that story — not as an ending, but as a new way of understanding what had always been there. My path into therapy wasn't just academic. I've lived through questioning my sexuality and gender in spaces that weren't built for people like me, and I've navigated what it means to hold a cultural identity that feels both deeply mine and still unfolding.

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.
