As a kink-identified Psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist, I work with kinky & non-monogamous people of all sexual orientations to address sexual performance anxieties, desire discrepancies, porn and/or substance use, and communication difficulties. I also help straight-identified men understand and appreciate their attraction to trans women. My inclusive practice enthusiastically welcomes those of any sexual orientation, gender identity, kink, relationship dynamic, and behaviors between consenting adults.

Treatment Approach
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Biopsychosocial Therapy Takes into account biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding mental health. It looks at the whole person, not just symptoms.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Object Relations Therapy Focuses on how early caregiver relationships shape current relationships. It aims to improve patterns of attachment and trust.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: My therapeutic approach is collaborative, empowering, and evidence-based. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental environment to help unburden you from unhelpful thoughts, painful feelings, and unhealthy patterns. My passion is helping motivated individuals and couples to reignite their intimacy and reclaim their sexuality. Through our work together, patients feel more grounded in who they are as sexual beings, more attuned to their wants and needs, more confident communicating with their partner, and better able to enjoy a vibrantly rewarding sex life.

As a licensed Psychologist and a Certified Sex Therapist, I work primarily (but not exclusively) with kinky, non-monogamous, and LGBTQ+ individuals and couples experiencing sexual performance anxieties, desire discrepancies, sexuality concerns, communication issues, substance use, & anxiety. And yes, I'm equally as happy to support folks who are monogamous, vanilla, and straight.
