I am a sex & relationship therapist with a reverence for sexual diversity and erotic wisdom. I am deeply rooted in my own personal journeys as a genderqueer bisexual kinkster of Jewyorican origin, as well as engagement with grassroots community organizing, academic theory and research, and ongoing clinical training. Where some therapeutic models might begin from an assumption of pathology, disease, and disorder, I find survival strength, resilience, and innate creativity at work even in the most challenging of experiences. Within the erotic is a life force that strives not just towards health but towards flourishing. I use modalities that cultivate mind-body presence to help you explore what health and flourishing are for you.
I specialize in working with queer and trans folks, trauma, consensual non-monogamy, kink and BDSM, sex work, intimate partnership bereavement, and sexual behavior that feels out of control. I am also highly experienced in working with issues of non-consent and abuse in BDSM dynamics, and issues of navigating BDSM community dynamics. I am deeply situated in queer, feminist, decolonial, and liberation psychologies, and am in attendance to the intertwining of individual and collective health.
