I offer counselling in german, french and english.

I am a sex and relationship therapist striving to offer comprehensive, sex-positive, culturally and trauma-informed services to those in the margins, liminal spaces and others who want to push out of rigid norms. I aim to help you become nicer to yourself and others.

I work with adults, relationships, polycules, queer men in the margins, first generation immigrants or first generation american-born and those wanting less shame and anxiety in their sex and relationships.

I offer therapy and counseling to help individuals and their partners with relationships and communication. Polyamory may be a framework, but our human needs are still universal - such as connection, love, understanding and trust. What’s different, then? Identifying and understanding all of the thoughts and feelings that might arise (they are all just part of our human experience), and finding ways to allow them, share them, and hold them with caring.

I work with all ages capable of engaging in talk therapy, and with all lifestyles. I am supportive of whatever individuals decide to co-create together. However that looks. I came of age and lived in the Bay Area for so long that I have a sense of the natural variation of human experience that transcends labels and paradigms.

My standard fee is $100 for a 50-minute session. Sometimes longer sessions are more effective. It all depends on the situation and the people. I am a provider with most managed care organizations in the area, and we can speak about how that might work if you want to use health insurance.

My website is a good place to visit if you wish to get a sense of the flavor of who I am, my perspective, and how I work with people. Please feel free to be in touch if you have any questions.

Greetings, I am a relationship and family therapist here in Louisville Colorado with immediate availability for both in-person appointments (for those located in Colorado). I work with all sorts of folx including non-monogamous, poly, queer, trans, and kinky. My work is rooted in narrative therapy and strives to amplify marginalized voices as we untangle constraining stories to seek agency, autonomy, and power over your and your community’s stories.

Sometimes in our lives we get surrounded by systems that are supposed to offer us a place of safety, protection and growth become the opposite of these traits. These systems can be organized around our family members, or our beliefs or even just our general social network. Often we don’t recognize the results of these systems, but instead find ourselves stuck, anxious, unable or maybe even unwilling to move from the lives we have had to live as a result of these systems.

I specialize in working with individuals, groups or couples who have emerged from these systems.

My approach is feedback centered, collaborative, and goal-driven. I place special emphasis on the balance between being creative, in the moment, with the use of a personalized structure that supports the overall experience, creating safety, openness and being seen.

Nashville is still a traditional town, one that’s brimming with faith-based counselors and conventional therapists who cater to clients in traditional marriages with traditional family values. While I am respectful of all faiths and traditions, I also whole-heartedly support alternative lifestyles and non-traditional relationships of every kind, and I am deeply committed to helping people whose belief systems, values, and identities fall outside of cultural norms.

Working from a foundation of honesty, integrity, and consent, I offer practical skills, a trained perspective, and a safe space to work through challenging feelings and new experiences. I work with a wide array of people and issues, including couples new to ethical non-monogamy; polyamorous relationships; polyfidelitous relationships; swingers; BDSM partners; agreements and agreement violations; managing new relationship energy; coping with jealousy; fostering compersion; and sexual health and safety.

I help adults from the 2SLGBTQQAI+ and straight communities and from the cisgender and trans* communities (including bigender, pangender, nonbinary, genderqueer and agender folk) with concerns including feeling stressed and anxious, feeling badly about themselves, loneliness or challenges in their relationships, challenges with being 2SLGBTQQAI+, sexuality, sexual orientation and gender, consensual non-monogamy and kink. My work is confidential and collaborative, and my office is a safe, affirming space to explore your concerns and how we can work through them together. I address all aspects of my clients’ lives including friendships, family, culture and spirituality. My approach to psychotherapy is cognitive behavioural, eclectic, narrative, solution-focused, strengths-based and anti-oppressive – together we can work toward feeling better, managing your stress and finding balance in your life and relationships.
