Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I work with adults ages 18+ seeking to explore their identity, where they’ve come from and where they want to go. I love working with members of the kink and bdsm community, folks looking to understand their sexuality and how better to communicate the wants and needs. I do relationship work with people in polyamorous relationships, triads and other formations with special attention to polyamorous folks creating non traditional family structures.

Hello and welcome! I was born and raised in the South, where the prevailing belief in the ‘Bible Belt’ was that discussions about sex should be reserved exclusively for one’s spouse. This mindset never resonated with me and upon coming to Denver, Colorado I realized just how antiquated and harmful this perspective can be. During my undergraduate studies at the University of Denver, I found a space that finally felt comfortable, safe, and empowering within the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Department, where I delved into the social construction of gender and sexuality.

As a current MSW candidate I strive to continue learning and encourage others to learn as well.I aim to support and sometimes challenge my clients in creating brave spaces—environments that foster dialogue, curiosity, growth, and prioritize agency. Empowered Exploration is the core of my philosophy, and by centering this in sessions, I hope to help cultivate stronger support systems and self-love.

My approach to therapy is primarily based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. As an ACT therapist, instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings, I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender and sexuality.

​I primarily provide online individual therapy with late teens and adults (of all ages). In addition to depression and anxiety, I also specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients. I am a Certified World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Global Education Initiative Standards of Care 7 Member. Other areas of focus in my work include obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic, depression, trichotillomania, and college student mental health.

​All my services are provided through telehealth and I am licensed in Nevada, Oregon and I am authorized to practice in 30+ “PSYPACT” states.

I am a poly-friendly therapist, and I see only individual adults–no partners or family counseling. I see people with a wide range of alternative lifestyles and religions, and am happy to focus on what brings you in–rather than getting distracted by who you love. Please see my website for some detailed information on how to determine whether I might be a good therapist for you. I am in-network only for BCBS, but I am happy to work with out-of-network policies as well. Please contact me by e-mail for the quickest response!

My practice is primarily based in using somatic (body aware) and relational therapy with individuals, couples and groups. I teach people how to literally re-wire their brains to actively reduce habitual stress-based patterns and increase the joy and vitality they generate for themselves on a daily basis. Breakthroughs in the study of the brain and its amazing plasticity have given the world powerful new tools for transformation. I use these tools to promote clarity, hope and resiliency for a more peaceful and loving world.

I support and celebrate poly, kink and other alternative lifestyle choices as viable options for healthy relationships. Being a somewhat unconventional person myself, I enjoy a mobile therapy practice so am not limited to one geographic location or the standard 50 minute therapy hour. I love the transformative power of doing therapeutic process with people, and am happy to work on-site with individuals or multi-partner groups within time frames that best serve the process. I prefer working with folks who have a clear intention of "being the change they want to see in the world". I work on a sliding fee scale to accommodate anyone who demonstrates true commitment to the idea that each of us is responsible for our own peace on this planet. - Does online consultation

I hope this space can help you begin to answer whether we might work well together. Being warm, caring, empathetic, and helpful is a core part of being a therapist, so I won’t emphasize those qualities here. In terms of my more unique clinical facets, I endeavor to be nonjudgmental even when not neutral. I’m high energy, whimsical, and mirthful in the counseling room. I am also skilled at verbally describing internal decision-making and emotional processes and have excellent pattern recognition and analytical skills.

Each individual comes to therapy with their own goals in mind and I’m here to work on whatever you feel would most benefit you. I especially enjoy supporting clients in discovering and supporting boundaries, building relationships and relationship agreements, and managing depression and suicidality.

I won’t judge you for consensual expressions of your identity and sexuality. I encourage LGBTQIA2-S people, people in consensual nonmonogamous relationships, BDSM/kink practitioners and community members, sex workers, and people living with chronic, severe depression and suicidality to reach out to me. I work with adults and partners. Please check my website for information about my availability for new self pay and insurance clients.

My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for folks to explore their gender and sexuality. Maybe you identify as queer, bi, lesbian, gay, pan, ace, trans, nonbinary, agender, poly, kinky, something else, all of the above, or nothing at all. You deserve to have a space where you can learn more about the different parts of yourself without judgment or pressure. As a queer person who has sought out therapy myself, I know how challenging it can be to find an affirming therapist. Even if your identity isn’t central to your therapy goals, I will always aim to honor and validate every part of your identity in our work.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and anti-oppressive. My approach is integrative, using tools across a variety of therapeutic modalities—relational, CBT, narrative, sex therapy—that are best suited to each unique client.

My expertise is in the existential complexity of contemporary relationships with a particular focus on polyamory and ENM. I’m the author of The Many Faces of Polyamory: Longing and Belonging in Concurrent Relationships and other publications on nonmonogamy. With dual doctoral degrees in clinical psychology and clinical sexology, along with extensive experience in couples therapy, I provide integrative treatment that addresses the full complexity of intimate relationships and sexual concerns.

Relationships are not static structures but evolving emotional systems in which desire, conflict, and connection are continuously reshaped. The alchemy of desire and intimacy lies in how these forces are held, negotiated, and transformed over time. Whether working with individuals or relationships, I focus on how patterns of longing, inhibition, and emotional connection emerge and change within specific relational fields.

I received an MA in Counselling Psychology and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (1175). I currently offer virtual individual and couples psychotherapy sessions to adults in English. My areas of focus include: grief, transitional concerns, mood disorders, relationship concerns, and queer identity. I utilize evidence-based modalities catered to the client, including: Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Trauma-Informed Therapies.
