I am a board-certified Clinical Sexologist, Sex Therapist, and Kink-Conscious Therapist, specializing in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as those involved in kink, BDSM, and non-monogamous relationships. I have extensive experience working with trauma and am honored to support individuals navigating or living alternative lifestyles.
I understand that life is a personal journey, and sometimes we need guidance to navigate through it. My goal is to help you find peace and tranquility as we work through your personal struggles together. I would be honored to work with you. To schedule an appointment, please call, or email me. I look forward to hearing from you.
