About My Clients

I am deeply committed to supporting the LGBTQ+ community. I’ve supported many queer people in exploring their sexual attraction, gender, and identity. One of my specialties is working with those who are taking a look at sex and gender beyond heteronormative culture. I am sex-positive and kink-aware, with a focus on helping individuals and couples navigate non-monogamy, polyamory and unique intimate relationships of all kinds.

My Background and Approach

I am passionate about helping people become comfortable with their emotions and more authentic in their relationships and with themselves. With a background in yoga instruction, I can help you learn how to use your body to introspectively explore the feelings you experience. I teach clients how to be more grounded, feel more centered and be less reactive and anxious.
