I offer kink/BDSM, poly/CNM/ENM, TGNC, and LGBQ affirmative psychotherapy and sex therapy for individuals, couples, multiple-partner relationships, and/or poly and leather families. I work with people across the spectrum of power role identification, gender expression, and sexual orientation, as well as those who are unsure of or evolving through identifications. My therapeutic approach is person-centered, holistic, and tailored to fit each collaboration.
My expertise is rooted in an intertwining of personal experience and academic and professional training. I have been a member of and mentor in the BDSM and LGBTQ communities for over two decades. I hold four postgraduate degrees—masters in psychology, social work, and human sexuality education, and a doctorate in clinical sexology. I'm licensed to practice psychotherapy in New York State (LCSW license # 086704), Washington DC (LICSW license # LC200002083), and Colorado (CSW license # 09928901), and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist (CST) and CST Supervisor. I am the founder of ManhattanAlternative.com, a listing of alternative lifestyle affirmative providers, and I was a co-founder of the AltSex NYC Conference and Sexuality Speaker Series.
If it doesn't work out for us to work together for any reason, I'll be more than happy to help connect you with referrals!
