About My Clients

My clients are expressive, explorative, and are feeling pain from life's stressors. I specialize in alternative lifestyles such as BDSM, Leather, Ethical Non-Monogamy, as well as anxiety and depression. My clients are those who have often felt like something is missing, off or broken in them, with the ultimate goal to have a happy, healthy, fulfilling and nurturing life and relationships. Their dreams are to be happy and comfortable in their own skin. They deserve space, support and celebration!

My Background and Approach

I work a lot with shame and self-compassion, creating a safe environment for people to explore themselves and their world. I do this by using an eclectic combination, as no two people are exactly alike. I offer a range of approaches including Support, Space, Solutions and Celebration to incorporate a holistic view of the person paired with an understanding of the wider world. We are dynamic beings with ever evolving experiences, so we should be treated as such. I’ve found that therapeutic relationships work best when people can be their authentic self, getting in touch with parts they may have disconnected from long ago. With a box of tissues and a blanket, I come to sessions armed with tools to get through some of the harder points clients struggle with. My ultimate goal is to get clients in touch with themselves, in their own skin, their relationships, and environments, so they can move forward in their lives and be more authentically and comfortable.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am radically accepting of individuals and believe that nothing on your exterior changes the nature of who you are on the interior. I hold space for people in an open way, meeting them more where they are. I move through life incorporating what I've learned into practice and have found that therapeutic relationships work best when people can be their authentic self, even if there’s ugly crying involved. I find it imperative to give someone the space to fly their true colors in session. I am impacted by PTSD-C from domestic violence, as well as depression and anxiety, which I actively work on. I say this to humanize the struggles that people face while still being able to hold mutual empathy in specialized ways. I am not here to place value judgements on others or compete with anyone but me. Women's rights are human rights, no human is illegal, science is real, love is love, Black lives matter and kindness is everything. I walk the walk not just talk the talk.
