Our work together isn’t about fitting you into a label or pushing you toward a specific outcome. It’s about helping you develop a clearer, more grounded relationship with yourself so you can make choices that feel honest, aligned, and sustainable.

I have a LGBTQ-affirming, kink-friendly, and nonjudgmental approach. I also work with individuals and couples exploring consensual non-monogamy. Together, we can explore:

LGBTQ+ Support

My therapy practice is open and affirming to those of any gender, sexual orientation, and relationship structure.

Come as you are.

I support couples and individuals who want to explore their self expression, sexual identity, and relationship dynamics. Non-traditional relationships styles such as non-monogamy, polyamory, and swinging lifestyles are all welcome here. Whether you are figuring things out for the first time or just need to reassess your current needs, I am a supportive person who will meet you where you’re at.

Connection to your sexuality is a vital part of having a satisfying and vibrant life.

Sexuality is deeply personal and sometimes a complicated subject to approach. Everyone deserves a space to explore their feelings, thoughts, desires, and concerns about sexuality in a non-judgmental space.

I work with individuals and couples navigating sexual orientation, health, consent, kink, and non-monogamy as well as concerns about sexual confidence and intimacy.

My approach is sex-positive, kink-friendly, and affirming. Whether you are exploring your sexuality for the first time, reclaiming it, or just want a safe place to talk about it,
support is here.

All sexual orientations and relationship styles are welcome here.
