Kink and Poly aware/friendly focused in individual and non-traditional relationship therapy. Specializations in acceptance therapy, reframing, CBT while remaining solutions-focused based on client goals.

I am a therapist that works exclusively with the Queer, Kinky and Ethically Non-monogamous communities.

I am LGBTQI, polyamory, kink, and sex work positive, having supported diverse communities. I incorporate mindfulness and meditation into my practice to support mental well-being and have a deep appreciation for creativity, enjoying the opportunity to foster the creative processes of artists. My areas of focus are with anxiety, depression, ADHD and neurodiversity. I offer a range of therapeutic approaches, integrating psychodynamic therapy with cognitive-behavioral techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My practice is grounded in a client-centered, trauma-informed framework, and I value incorporating direct feedback and humor into therapy.

In therapy, I aim to build a supportive and empathetic relationship, tailoring our work to your unique needs, whether you seek brief or long-term support. I believe in exploring and embracing the messiness of therapy to uncover your strengths and resilience, creating a safe space where vulnerability can lead to meaningful growth.

My background includes training in harm-reduction models, with experience in HIV test counseling, HIV case management, reproductive healthcare decision making. I have worked conducting street outreach, and worked in hospital-based and community health clinics. A key part of my experience is my time with St. James Infirmary, a clinic serving sex workers. I am San Francisco Sex Information (SFSI) trained, and am currently pursuing AASECT certification.

I provide poly, kink, and queer celebratory therapy for people balancing the pressures of daily life while navigating the complex intersections of personal identity and relational structures that challenge the status quo.

My goal is to empower you to achieve the life you want despite whatever hardships you might have gone through. My practice provides a welcoming and safe environment where you can feel accepted for who you are and allows you to open up toward healing. Sessions are tailored to the client's needs and goals.
