About My Clients

Talking about intimacy and identity can be daunting. Being part of or interested in anything outside of cis-heteronormative monogamous culture can be isolating and terrifying. As a registered Kink-Aware Professional with the NCSF and a Licensed Professional Counselor in SC and CO, I provide trauma-informed, sex-positive therapy for the kink, fetish, BDSM, and ethically non-monogamous communities.

My Background and Approach

Society can be overflowing with expectations, guilt, and shame…but it doesn’t have to. What would it be like if you understood and trusted that you are the expert on your life, your experiences, your relationships, your identity? What if you accepted your intrinsic value without toxic shame or isolation holding you back? I work with you to help you explore. reclaim, and create your sexual, spiritual, and physical experiences. We will work together to deconstruct toxic messages about your existence, and to find genuine fulfillment in your life and relationships.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

With a strong emphasis on personal and relational growth and empowerment, I seek to work collaboratively to help individuals, couples, families, and other relationships embrace the most authentic, healthy version of themselves. I strive to meet you where you are and help you find the freedom and empowerment that you deserve.
