Do you have concerns or questions about your relationships, sexuality, or gender? Are you considering exploring non-monogamy, kink , or BDSM? Do you identify as LGBTQIA+ and want a therapist who will affirm your identity as you process life transitions, anxiety, or depression? I am passionate about providing an affirming environment for exploring and discussing these concerns, questions, emotions, and experiences. My goal is to provide a warm, genuine, nonjudgmental space where you can process difficult emotions, gain insight, and learn practical skills that can impact your life and relationships.

Struggling to connect with your authentic self? Looking for a sense of peace or contentment? When you have positive feelings about yourself, you experience daily joy, have better relationships and increase performance. When you encounter a block to these positive feelings, you may experience anxiety, depression, and be unsatisfied with relationships. We work together to help you find their best self, navigate intimacy, tackle communication issues & bridge other relationships gaps. We also work together to overcome those deeper blocks that prevent us from making lasting change.

Sexuality can either enhance or complicate your personal life and relationships. Whether you're dealing with physical problems such as sexual dysfunction or pain with sex, or your relationship has a lack of sexual satisfaction, I can help. Problems with sex can lead you to feel inadequate, insecure, and even alone. Together, we'll work through these issues to help you feel more sexually confident, enhance the satisfaction that you have in your relationship, and explore your sexuality in a way that doesn't promote judgment and shame. Contact me today to set up an appointment.

Having participated in my own therapy, I can empathize with the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors you may experience when you decide to enter into therapy. My goal is to create a safe and accepting environment that will help you achieve your goals. I will work collaboratively with you to help you achieve these goals and empower you throughout the duration treatment to help you become more authentically you.

I first wish you well in your search to find a counselor that you can connect to. I have participated in counseling off and on throughout my life and consider our mental health as important as our physical health. Connection and relating are important in the counseling process. It is my hope to provide you with a warm and caring space. I do my best to be genuine and authentic and hope you feel comfortable enough to be yourself and share your thoughts and feelings without that fear of judgment. At the core of my philosophy, I believe truth, love and consciousness are traits we do best to foster.

As a queer non-binary person that is part of both the ethical nonmonogamy and kink communities, I know personally how hard it can be to find a mental health professional that understands. After my own struggle I decided to pursue mental health as a profession so that I could give back to the communities that have meant so much to me. Everyone needs help with life sometimes and everyone should be able to get that help in a judgement free way that affirms one’s identity. Even if what you are currently struggling with has nothing to do with your identity, it can still be good to find help in a way that feels authentic to who you are.

Whether you need a helping hand in moving through trauma or someone to help you in your relationships – you have come to the right place. Sometimes it can be very difficult to get “unstuck” and move towards a life you want when you must keep parts of yourself hidden. You are free to be yourself here. This is a place for you to bravely play out all your pieces to see the whole picture. We’ll explore the landscape of your mind, identify the roadblocks, and equip you with practical skills to facilitate growth and healing.

I specialize in open, nonmonogamous relationships such as polyamory and swinging, alternative lifestyles such as kink / BDSM, LGBT+, and secular or alternative faiths such as paganism. Trying to live more freely and authentically can be hard. Some struggle feeling something is wrong with them. Some people have just been polybombed, the love of their life seeming to say they’re not enough. Others, having taken the leap can’t seem to stop fighting. Feeling isolated, scared, tired, and like they're going to lose everything.

You feel like even though you're speaking the same language, your partner is just not understanding what you're saying. You've been experiencing sexual issues recently or maybe even for quite some time. It's frustrating, isolating, infuriating and exhausting. You’re fed up with having the same conversation over and over and getting nowhere. It may even be difficult to remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But now, you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to break the pattern and communicate better. You're ready for a more fulfilled sex life. And most of all, you’re ready to feel more connected in your relationship!

Do you not see eye-to-eye with your partner(s)? Do you struggle with meeting people but desire human interaction? What about struggling with sexual intimacy and having a hard time finding a therapist to talk freely about your Sex Life?

Therapy is an intensely personal process. It is can be both exquisitely liberating and excruciatingly difficult. To honor this, I focus on developing a strong relationship with you characterized by compassion and a suspension of judgments. No topic is off-limits in my office; nothing is "unspeakable" or "unthinkable." What I ask of my clients is to be honest and searching. I will never coerce you into discussing topics if you are unready, but I may encourage you to examine the deeper meanings behind interactions that have been troubling you.
