About My Clients

A huge challenge for folks in kink and queer populations in finding a provider is in finding a lack of understanding of some of the unique elements that intersect in navigating mental health. As a kink and queer informed and identified provider, my hope is to make access to mental health easier and with more flexibility to match their lived experiences. Clients I see are navigating mood and emotions regulation challenges, trauma related struggles, and neurodivergence.

My Background and Approach

My approach to therapy with people is one that is a collaborative process. From the beginning, I work to establish my role, one of a provider who has requisite skills to support their journey, and establish that the person in front of me is driving the figurative vehicle. From there, my approach is specifically tailored for the client I am working with. I see myself as traveling WITH you, sometimes taking the wheel, and at other times turning it to you. I have specialized experience in working with people identifying in the kink/BDSM community, and LGBTQIA+ populations. In this approach, we may evaluate systemic pressures impacting the distress, and find ways to navigate that support the whole person.
