About My Clients
My clients are highly intelligent, out-of-the-box thinkers—often part of CNM, kink, adult industry, or entertainment communities. Many are creatives, neurodivergent, or LGBTQ+. They want to live fully and authentically, but often feel blocked by unresolved attachment injuries or trauma that shows up in their relationships, intimacy, and sense of safety.
My Background and Approach
I’m a licensed psychotherapist and author of Open Deeply: A Guide to Building Conscious, Compassionate Open Relationships. I’ve worked with individuals, groups, and relationships since 2003, and opened my private practice in 2011 with a focus on consensual non-monogamy and trauma. I integrate EMDR, IFS-informed somatic trauma therapy, and art therapy. I understand that unresolved attachment injuries and nervous system dysregulation often keep people stuck. I help clients track what’s happening in real time—emotionally, cognitively, and in the body—so they can respond rather than react. I also use a communication model I developed called EPIC (Empathy, Physical awareness, Intellectual understanding, and Compassion) to support more connected, regulated conversations. Therapy with me isn’t about following a specific relationship model, but about helping you access your internal compass and create relationships that feel aligned, sustainable, and true.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that many of the struggles we experience in relationships are not signs that something is “wrong” with us, but reflections of deeper patterns shaped by our history, our nervous system, and the culture we live in. I take a non-pathologizing, sex-positive, and trauma-informed approach to therapy. I do not believe there is one “right” way to do relationships—whether monogamous, non-monogamous, or something else—but I do believe in honesty, consent, and alignment with your internal truth. My work is informed by both evidence-based practices and contemplative traditions, including Buddhist perspectives, while remaining grounded and non-dogmatic. I value curiosity, compassion, and helping people reconnect with themselves in a way that allows for deeper intimacy and connection.
