LGBTQIA+ • Kink • Ethical/Consensual Non-Monogamy • Adult Industry Professionals As an LGBTQ+ affirming, sex positive, poly-friendly, and kink aware therapist, I welcome and provide a safe space for all identities and relationship styles. I work virtually with adults and couples struggling with communication issues, sexual issues, LGBTQ+ identity development, body neutrality, and self-esteem. I practice with an intersectional lens and seek to understand my clients within the context of their identities and histories, including family-of-origin experiences and intergenerational trauma.
I provide a safe and non judgmental environment for individuals seeking mental health care without fear of stigma or discrimination. My personal experiences and professional knowledge allows for a unique and valuable approach within the therapeutic process.
I believe in the importance of building a strong therapeutic connection. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, meaning I believe in empowering clients to take an active role in their therapeutic process.
