You’re proud to be queer, poly, kinky - or all three! But sometimes life can be difficult, relationships can bring new challenges, and it’s isolating trying to work through it all on your own. Maybe you’re questioning your sexual orientation or gender, and not sure what that means for your longterm relationship. Maybe you asked your partner to open up the relationship, but now you feel jealous when they go a date. Maybe you want to explore BDSM, but you’re worried about triggers and unresolved trauma. You’re tired of feeling stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed with all of this, and you just want to feel joyful and confident again.
I specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirming, polyENM-friendly, & BDSMkink-knowledgeable therapy because I know how important it is for these parts of your identity to be validated, rather than judged or pathologized, when you’re ready to make changes, heal from trauma and attachment wounds, work through relationship issues, and strengthen your sense of self-worth.
Fun fact about me: I have a background in visual arts, and previously worked in the film and television industry for a number of years before I decided to become a therapist. Now, I love that I get to work with clients in the industry or other creative professions - or people who are partnered with those in the industry, as I have been on both sides and know the stress that creative projects, freelance work, or long days on set can put on individuals and relationships!
My style is warm but direct; I'm not the kind of therapist who just nods along - I ask the questions that help you dig deeper, identify patterns, and understand yourself better. Laughter, tears, swearing, dark humor, movie references, and stories about your pets are all welcome in sessions with me. If you’re ready to get started, I’d love to hear from you.
