Relationships and intimacy require work and attention – as an experienced counselor, I’d like to help you with that work, building a road to a more fulfilled life. If you are interested in learning more about developing stronger emotional connections with yourself and/or your partner(s); exploring ethical non-monogamy and kink; stimulating love and desire; building communication skills around sex and intimacy; and/or exploring sexual confidence, eroticism, and self-esteem these are areas of focus for me and I would like to invite you to meet with me for a free, thirty-minute consultation. Contact me to schedule your appointment.

Are you desiring to live a more authentic, empowered life? Do you find yourself overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in depression or grief, or suffering with symptoms of trauma? Maybe you’re struggling to shift old habits that are holding you back? As a trauma-informed, somatic (body-based) therapist, I support each client in tuning into the wisdom of their body, mind, and spirit to move towards change. In our sessions together, I foster a safe, warm connection with empathetic curiosity where all parts of you are welcome to be explored and understood.
I specialize in working with folks with complex trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and identity-related issues (LGBTQIA+, CNM/ENM). I have in-depth knowledge on trauma-informed care, body-based nervous system regulation, and mindfulness techniques. I also utilize dance, movement, and art making in the therapeutic process.

I am a mental health therapist in Wisconsin license 7174-125
And in Florida, teletheallth license TPMC8556
I have completed all the course work to be a Sexologist and I choose not to pay the yearly fee.}
I provide sex-positive, kink- and CNM-affirming therapy for individuals and relationships navigating intimacy, desire, sexual exploration, BDSM, consensual non-monogamy, and relationship challenges.
My work goes beyond simply being “kink-friendly” or “poly-friendly.” These are areas of clinical focus, which means you don’t have to spend therapy explaining or defending your relationship structure, desires, or consensual sexual interests before we can address what actually brought you in.
I work with clients navigating desire differences, jealousy, opening or renegotiating relationships, boundaries and agreements, communication breakdowns, recurring conflict, intimacy concerns, shame, sexual exploration, and relationships that feel stuck or disconnected. I also work with people who are curious about kink, CNM, or their sexuality but aren’t yet sure what they want or how to talk about it.
My approach is relational, attachment-informed, direct, and grounded in autonomy, consent, curiosity, and respect. I don’t believe there is one “right” way to have a relationship or experience sexuality. Therapy is about understanding what is happening beneath the conflict, identifying patterns that are no longer working, and helping you create relationships and an intimate life that genuinely fit the people involved.
Telehealth therapy is available for clients located in Wisconsin and Florida through Future Horizons Counseling.
