You’ve spent years masking, overthinking, and holding it all together—and now your anxiety, relationships, or self-image have you feeling exhausted and out of sync with yourself. You crave peace, clarity, and connection, but don’t know where to start. I help neurodivergent, high-achieving women—especially those from BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities—unpack old patterns, reconnect with their bodies, and build self-trust through compassion, boundaries, and practical tools rooted in somatic and evidence-based care.

Accepting New Clients! You tell yourself what happened to you wasn't real, but under the busyness of life you know it was. You see it coming up in you romantic relationships-the same type of person, the same conflict, the same experience that leaves you with a feeling like there's something wrong with you. Or, maybe you see it in your family relationships-wanting them to meet your needs and always being disappointed. Or, maybe you see it coming up in those moments of lost time-your mind spinning around past hurts. No matter how the trauma may surface, you can no longer live like this.

I have always enjoyed getting to know the depths of what is going on inside of people. My favorite clients have been hurt and have kept masks on for a while. Their intuition tells them that coming to life means revealing their truth and becoming present with what's going on inside of them. My therapy is not designed to be a one size fits all and I appreciate those who are motivated to grow, even if they're not sure exactly the direction. I enjoy working with anyone overcoming trauma and anyone looking for a big permanent change in their life. I also provide supervision for therapists in training.

My ideal clients are people in the middle of significant life transitions, men recovering from depression or anxiety, and relatives dealing with the heartbreak of estrangement. You may feel stuck, uncertain, or weighed down by emotions you don’t quite know how to handle. What you want most is relief from that heaviness and a clear path forward. You're seeking a safe, nonjudgmental place to talk things through, explore your feelings, and begin to heal. Your goal isn’t just to “get by,” but to rebuild strength, restore balance, and create a life founded on resilience, meaning, and deeper peace.

Often people learn to feel shame or guilt over parts of their identity that are core to who they are. These beliefs form an emotional pain that can destabilize our view of ourselves and the world around us, creating deeper feelings of depression and anxiety. Finding ways to navigate these beliefs and feelings is not always easy, and frequently the ways we learn to cope have additional costs that we aren't aware of. If you struggle with aspects of your identity and with the stories you have been told about them, I invite you to reach out and consult.

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.
