LGBT+ and kink friendly!
I take pride in my 25 years of experience working with a variety of populations, and I enjoy working with clients 15 years of age and up. My clients over the years have had: depression, anxiety disorders, adjustment difficulty, and teenagers with a variety of peer, family, and self-esteem issues. I welcome women's issues, veteran's issues, LGBTQ issues, those who are just "stuck", going through a life transition or folks who have been in and out of therapy for years. I've found that most people are just doing the best they can to muddle through life and dodge the challenges that are so prevalent today. Having support does help!

I earned my master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and am licensed as an LPC-Associate. I've worked at a mood and anxiety center and in community mental health, gaining experience with the many different ways anxiety and mood struggles show up from person to person. I also spent over 13 years as a personal trainer, strength coach, and yoga teacher before this career, and that background still shapes how I work today; I pay attention to the body, not just the mind, because real change usually involves both.

Sex positive therapy is an approach removing shame, guilt, and negative stigmas.
As a Licensed Sex Therapist, I get asked all kinds of questions! Is it weird that my libido is different from my partner's? I am curious about variety but I love and want to stay committed to my partner, is there an answer? I've detached myself from ever feeling vulnerable again; is love, intimacy, or committment right for me? How can sex bring my partner and I closer when what I really want is to be seen and heard? I like weird stuff, how do I share this? Hi! I'm Savannah, and I have nearly 20 years experience in sex and relationships. I look forward to exploring with you!

If you are a tired & overstimulated mama, you have come to the right place! Motherhood is the toughest job, and moms are often not given the recognition for all they do. I want you to know that I see you! As a mom myself, I know how challenging it can be. Whether you just need support as a mom, or you are experiencing more intense symptoms (i.e: postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, or rage) I am here to support you through that journey. As a mom that experienced perinatal depression, I know first hand how scary and isolating the experience can feel. The fear can overwhelm you and it can be hard to share how you're feeling.

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.
