Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists in Friendswood, TX
I engage well with clients from varying ethnicities, and clients that might describe their experience as unique. I also have a number of celebrity clients, pastors and wives, business owners and couples who seek someone to be honest and direct. I don't believe in wasting time in session and "running the clock." Our experience will be intense, refreshing, and reflective. If you are seeking out a therapist that others can identify your change and development, then if schedule permits, perhaps we will have a spirit experience in session.

I love to work with queer, neurodivergent people of color and otherwise marginalized adolescents and adults, because of my interest in our collective liberation. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort and that clients are the experts in their own lives. They have the ability to choose how to resolve their problems. Of course, many issues are systemic, but what choices can we make of the things within our control? I use experiential awareness and expressive arts to create a space to develop insight in order to grow and heal.

Something isn’t working. Maybe the distance grew over time, or maybe it hit all at once, but now, you’re more like roommates than partners. You keep having the same arguments. You feel shut down or alone. One of you might be leaning in, trying to fix things. The other is unsure if there’s anything left to fix.
You don’t have to figure it all out before starting therapy. We begin with what’s real, right now.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. Especially those from LGBTQIA+ and POC communities, as well as people in nontraditional relationship or family structures—who are navigating identity exploration, societal pressures, relationship dynamics, and the constant overwhelm of modern life. I believe in creating the kind of place where people can be real, messy, and still be held with care. My approach is affirming, culturally responsive, and grounded in curiosity. I meet clients where they are, helping them feel seen, build self-trust, and foster more honest and connected relationships.

I’ve dedicated my life to helping individuals who have experienced trauma and are seeking deep, meaningful change.
Life is full of challenges, and sometimes those challenges can feel overwhelming. But as Joshua J.

I believe every person carries a powerful story—and that you have the strength to shape that story into something purposeful and true.

When communication keeps breaking down, every talk can land in the same painful loop. Partners feel lonely, rejected, or invisible. I help couples and individuals rebuild trust, repair injuries, and shift from fighting to understanding. In our work we slow down the cycle, name the patterns, and make room for the needs, fears, and hopes underneath. I use CBT, DBT, the Gottman Method, mindfulness, and my Self Reflective Relationship Therapy workbook to build awareness, compassion, and practical skills. You will learn to pause, speak clearly, listen fully, and reconnect with the closeness you want.

My intention is to support you in your exploration of ways to create an enriching and worthwhile life. I work with people who are adjusting to difficult life changes, looking to revamp their coping strategies, processing stressful past events, and working to improve their relationships with self and others. No matter which interventions are most present in a particular client's sessions, I take a relational approach and encourage people to reflect on the ways day-to-day challenges show up in the therapy office.

Are your ambition and intensity not what they used to be? Has the trajectory of your career lost some of its former dynamism and excitement? Are you withdrawing from your most important relationships (romantic and professional)? Do you find yourself thinking, "What the hell is wrong with me?" Somewhere along the way, you stopped being yourself.
I became a therapist to help people like you find their way back to themselves. Being true to ourselves is not something we achieve passively. Being ourselves is a form of worthwhile rebellion—if we must struggle, why not do so in a way that is rewarding instead of unfulfilling?

My clients I typically see are couples, individuals, or teens who feel stuck, misunderstood, or disconnected. They might be arguing more, feeling anxious, or just trying to figure out who they are and what they want. They’re looking for a safe space to talk, learn better ways to communicate, manage stress, and rebuild trust—whether that’s in their relationship or within themselves. Deep down, they just want to feel heard, supported, and more at peace in their life and connections.

My ideal clients are ready to step into deeper intimacy—with themselves and with others. They may be navigating challenges with desire, communication, or sexuality, and they often carry shame, stigma, or silence around pleasure. Many come to me during seasons of transition—ending relationships, starting new ones, or redefining who they are—and want a safe space to process those changes.

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.
