Mental health practitioner specializing in sex therapy. Kink aware and friendly.

As an active participant in the lifestyles for over 30 years, and experienced therapist providing help to kink, swinging, and polyamory individuals, I may prove to be the person who can help. I am well trained; but far from conventional.

I help people find and live as their authentic selves even when that feels impossible. Are you feeling stuck, worried, or sad and want things to change? In my office I help you identify what's in your way to moving forward and together we come up with tools and solutions you can use. Having a warm and welcoming space that is non-judgmental and supportive can help things become clearer and more manageable.My specialties include sex therapy and helping people with identity, self-realization, and forming meaningful connections to others.I challenge us to question ourselves and the world around us. I provide a different perspective and use my clinical experience to help client's shift old patterns and see things in a new way.

I have been a member of the BDSM community for over 10 years, in a variety of roles and have run classes on mental health as well as seeing clients on a confidential basis out of a private office, and now out of the William Way center. I run my practice with a heavy focus on discretion, understanding the need for it as a part of the lifestyle myself.

I find it is even more so for people in the LGBTQI community, and people who identify with a kink lifestyle.

As a former political animal turned writer, independent researcher, media personality, and healer, I have witnessed the depths of human behavior for the better part of 35 years. Because I had a very early introduction to politics, I got a head start on dissecting the how's and why's of people's decision making processes. The adages "politics makes strange bedfellows" and "politics is sexy" are absolutely true, if one knows where to look. That was something I became very adept at early on, which left me with the unique ability to not only listen to what people have to say, but also catch the subtle cues that would tell me what they were trying to hide. Couple that with the fact that I have been well-acquainted with "kink" for my entire adult life, and I am able to offer guidance without judgement on intimate matters. Now, I choose to use those skills and experience to help people find a path to a positive lifestyle, and healthy attitudes about sex and relationships. Admittedly, politics is an addiction in itself, so I also continue to work on research and writing focused on public policy and laws on sex and relationships.

All telehealth. Individual and relationship psychotherapy for folks in poly/ENM relationship structures. Kink and bdsm knowledgeable with over a decade of experience.

Relationships and sexuality are incredibly complex. Successfully navigating the issues that come up can be difficult and painful without professional assistance. That is where therapy comes in. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides compassionate, nonjudgmental, challenging and up-to-date individual, relational, and sex therapy. I have been working with the kink, poly, and LGBTQIA communities for over 9 years and I am committed to helping folks create the most fulfilling relationships and sex lives possible. Some of my kink-specific services include: negotiating and contracting for open, d/s and BDSM relationships, envisioning and enacting alternative family systems, addressing coming out and privacy issues, assessing and treating sexual dysfunction problems, reconciling discordant sexual/relational desires, and solving relational problems within a d/s dynamic without breaking out of roles. Some other issues I work with: depression, anxiety, self esteem, gender identity, life cycle transitions, attachment, intimacy, dating, divorce, infidelity, emotion regulation, mindfulness, ADHD and coping.
