Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

Making the decision to begin therapy can be a difficult one. Whether it is to enter into therapy for the first time or to resume the process after a hiatus, I commend you for seeking assistance, counsel, and a compassionate ear. The last thing you want to feel in a therapeutic environment is judged for your life style choices.

I am committed to an open-minded non judgmental stance. I have over 20 years of experience in this field and have an expertise in clients who are poly/kink/swingers.

The art of therapy is knowing when to listen quietly and compassionately, when to offer up practical advice and tools, and/or when to bring up an unconscious dynamic that is unduly influencing the course of your direction. After 20 years of studying and practicing this art, I can offer you this subtle yet profoundly important expertise.

My specialities include trauma with EMDR based therapy, eclectic approach, religious trauma, teen issues, relationship issues.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, polycules, and families who are polyamorous or practice other forms of consensual non-monogamy. I work with people of all gender expressions and sexual identifications (including those on the asexuality spectrum), people who practice kink/BDSM, and sex workers. Attachment, communication, and broken agreements are some of the areas that people come to see me to address. Some of the areas that are often a focus in my sex therapy practice are challenges with desire and pleasure (including a discrepancy between partners), sexual shame, exploring and understanding fantasy, and finding sexual joy. I work with many people who have a history of trauma, including sexual trauma. And I work from a lens of intersectional and mutual liberation.

Bio:

I am a Black, queer, disabled, neurodivergent, non-binary therapist working with adult individuals and couples. I approach therapy as a team effort grounded in trauma-informed, anti-racist, fat liberatory, sex & kink positive, and feminist ideals. My therapy practice, while primarily based in Relational-Cultural Therapy, is eclectic, borrowing from multiple modalities in order to find the best approach for each individual client, couple, or polycule. Common approaches I incorporate include: EFT (emotion focused therapy), IFS (internal family systems), and Attachment Theory. When appropriate, I frequently like to incorporate exercises and homework to practice concrete skills and tools that are consistent with the stated goals. I prioritize working with communities with whom I share personal experience, including: LGBTQIA+, polyamorous/ENM, BDSM/kink, sex worker, SA/DV survivors, neurodivergent, chronically ill & disabled. I am not panelled in-network with any insurance plans, but can provide superbills for those with out of network benefits. My full fee is $300 and I offer sliding scale options based on need.

Longer Script:

When you make the decision to attend therapy, you are making the decision to prioritize your wellbeing in a fundamentally unique way. Therapy is something that can be challenging, but also transformative– Especially for those who have not been listened to, believed, or had the freedom to pause and practice introspection due to the demands of life.

Knowing the challenges of finding a therapist who can understand your life experiences, I prioritize working with communities with whom I share personal experience. This includes, but is not limited to: LGBTQIA+, polyamorous/ENM, BDSM/kink, sex worker, SA/DV survivors, neurodivergent, chronically ill & disabled communities.

My work is grounded in Relational-Cultural Therapy, which emphasizes the importance of the relationship between therapist and client as an essential part of the therapeutic process. I aim to minimize power dynamics in the room between therapist and client, and firmly believe you are the expert of your life. Rather than an authority in the room, I see my role as a collaborator in helping you achieve your therapy goals. For those who wish to know my social location: I am a Black, queer, disabled, neurodivergent, polyamorous, non-binary therapist in my 30s. I come from a middle-class background in a mixed race household, am a US citizen, and was raised Catholic but am not religious.

I approach therapy as a team effort grounded in trauma-informed, anti-racist, fat liberatory, sex & kink positive, and feminist ideals. My therapy practice is eclectic, borrowing from multiple modalities in order to find the best approach for each individual client, couple, or polycule. Common approaches I incorporate include: EFT (emotion focused therapy), IFS (internal family systems), Sex Therapy, and Attachment Theory.

I work with clients on a variety of topics, but special interests include: Unpacking attachment wounds using IFS; Transition stages in Poly/ENM; Freedom from shame regarding sex & kink; Impacts of disability; Relationships to health, disordered eating, and/or fatness from a fat liberatory and body neutrality lens.
