I can help you establish a meditation practice that will help you increase communication skills and relationship skills to use to grow closer and clearer with yourself, your friends, your lovers, your play partners and your co-workers. I am skilled in helping you develop your inner intuition to discover and support your personal boundaries so you can safely practice kink, BDSM, ethical nonmonogamy. polyamory, solo polyamory, relationship anarchy, autoamory, monogamy, gender expression and sexual preference. I also provide coaching in gently and sanely exploring all of these areas.

I help the LGBTQ+ and Kink communities with everything from coming out, exploring aspects of their identity, forming non traditional relationships and building chosen families / communities of support through virtual groups, workshops, and weekend retreats

Your relationships are deeply important to you. You cherish them, and know that if your relationships are in trouble, the other parts of your life will suffer too. So you don’t want to waste any more time.

It can be challenging enough making the decision to get counseling. Finding someone who understands and accepts BDSM, kink, polyamory, LGBTQ, and alternative spiritualities shouldn't have to be a factor.Having sexual fetishes and engaging in a relationship with power exchange are healthy expressions of one's sexuality. Yet, during an intake session with a therapist, one often ends up spending the entire session explaining what being gender fluid or polyamorus means instead of focusing on what the problem is. It can be very frustrating and intimidating. People with alternative lifestyles fear being "outted" to family or employers. How does one know that their new therapist understands the difference between the Master/slave dynamic and domestic violence? How can they as parents feel reassured that their therapist isn't going to automatically consider their kink or religion grounds for a child abuse report? Whether you are seeking help for issues relating to alternative style choices or you're just seeking a therapist that provides a non-judgemental and educated perspective, a lifestyle aware counselor can provide you with compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive services.
