I offer individual and relationship therapy for adults navigating identity, intimacy, trauma, and life transitions—including those in non-monogamous, polyamorous, and queer relationships. My approach is psychodynamic, attachment-based, and sex-positive, with a focus on how past experiences shape how we show up today. I support clients exploring boundaries, communication, desire discrepancies, emotional safety, and the complexities of navigating multiple relationships. This includes work around jealousy, repair, shame, and reimagining relational norms.

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. In addition to specializing in identity, I support clients experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship issues.

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 fully endorse that relationships heal and co-creating a liberated space where all bodies are comfortable is fundamental. I am committed to meeting clients where they are in the present moment and collaboratively working toward their goals. I have personal and professional experience with LGBT2QIA+, fat, and neurodivergent populations and can provide psychoeducation on neurodivergence and how to manage and embrace different minds. Although I tailor my approach to meet each client’s needs and style, I often draw connections across all types of relationships and interactions in the client’s life, as well as their mind-body connection to increase insight, reduce shame, and promote healthy relationships. I believe in supporting clients with anxiety by exploring the roots of unhelpful thoughts and exploring meaning that emotions are trying to communicate. I have many years of experience supporting emerging adults and LGBTQIA+ folx through the major transitions and anxieties, assisting with identity exploration and development, navigating different relationships, and identifying goals and hopes for the future.
