About My Clients

I am sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and BDSM/kink aware. I specialize in ethical/consensual non-monogamy, including swinging, open relationships, polyamory and other non-traditional or alternative relationships and lifestyles.

My Background and Approach

I believe that people generally want to be happy, effective and successful in their lives and that they already have within themselves the capacity and potential for change and adherence to that change. People possess substantial personal expertise and wisdom regarding themselves nd already “know” what they need to do. Yet, as we all can relate, doing it is easier said than done. I offer both virtual telehealth and in-person sessions as well as full day/multi-day intensive sessions specifically geared for couples/partners who who are ready to look deep within their relationship to explore, identify, and move beyond underlying patterns of conflict, unresolved problems, as well as walls of fear and defensiveness.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am deeply committed to creating an inclusive and affirming space for all clients, with a special focus on supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals, those in non-monogamous or unconventional relationships, and those exploring kink/BDSM dynamics. As someone personally connected to the LGBTQIA+ community, I understand the unique challenges that come with navigating identity and relationships outside of societal norms. I’m also passionate about advocating for mental health accessibility and dismantling stigma around sexuality and alternative lifestyles. I align with causes that promote social justice, equity, and the empowerment of marginalized communities. When I’m not working with clients, I engage in continued education to stay informed on issues affecting the communities I serve, and I collaborate with organizations that uplift these voices. I believe in creating authentic connections, celebrating diversity, and creating a space where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
