I am a certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner and I train others in this powerful approach to healing and personal growth. In my one-on-one sessions I use IFS to help you explore and transform your own inner system. Most peoples inner world is a jumble of thoughts, feelings and emotions. IFS allows you to find the calm in the middle of that storm and from that vantage point love and transform parts of yourself that might be in extreme roles or carrying burdens. This can change this jumbled up inner world into a place of inner-peace and clarity. Typically we focus on an area of your life where you would like to have a breakthrough. It might be relationship, career or personal happiness. We then explore the issue from a inner-parts perspective. Ill help you understand the system of inner parts that is at play. Ill then guide you through an established process of getting to know and transforming these parts of yourself. This typically involves me gently guiding you inside to discover your inner world using IFS techniques. You will build new ways of relating with these parts of yourself and ultimately unburden them. These sessions are incredibly powerful and can help transform long standing patterns in a short period of time. 30 years of meditation and spiritual practice allows me to hold a field of healing Presence while you do the work. Many people find they can do very deep personal work with me immediately because of the field of safety they feel around me. Through my own work I have become very grounded in deep places of calm and you will sense that when we work together. I typically do a 75 minutes session at a cost of $110. You can work with me weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. If you feel very called to this work and cannot afford it, please contact me. I do have a limited number of sliding scale slots available. Please call and we can do an initial free 30 minute session where we can discuss what is happening for you and decide whether I might be the person to help you with it. In addition to the healing work I do I own a company called Leatherpost.com. I am extremely knowledgeable in almost all areas of kink.

Are your ready to get curious about yourself, explore who you are and push your own limits? Then I'd love to work  you.

Life coach. Tantra. Somatic. Healer. Intuitive. Relationship coach. PhD. Clinical Sexology. Health. Wellness. Nutrition. Yoga. Metaphysics Teacher.

I offer counseling and coaching for individuals, couples, and more-somes that seek to better understand themselves and their relationships. The whom, how, when, and why matters not to me. I am here without judgement, ready to help you meet your connection goals. As a licenced counselor, relationship coach, and registered yoga teacher, I bring 13 years of experience to empowering individuals and couples to grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. I take this work seriously, but rarely myself. My clients and students appreciate the acceptance, laughter and insight I offer. I work to bring a unique blend of inspiration, encouragement, fun, and comfort to sessions. I will gently, but firmly push your mind, heart, and relationship to new levels of connection. Let's be expansive together!

As a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern, under supervision, I am an sex-positive, empathetic, and resourceful counselor and I am part of the kink and poly communities in Los Angeles. I have lived in Paris, worked in several education-based sex stores, and teach sex-positivity to clinicians and the general public. All these experiences have combined to make me a advocate for authentic expression. I am committed to creating a safe environment to explore the frontiers of sexuality, intimacy, and culture. I seek to collaborate with you and assist you to re-design and enhance your relationship to yourself and others. Often, a client comes in for one issue, and after closer examination, comes to realize that their challenges/distress are linked to ways of being that no longer work or only work at the cost of the client's relationships. I believe one of the goals of therapy is not to rid oneself of these "defenses", but to give a voice to what they are trying to protect you from and appreciate that they developed for good reasons. In our work together, we can find ways to see fear, resentment, and anger as signals and develop ways to take care of yourself that are based on self-compassion and embracing your complexity and the complexity of others.
