Great to meet you!

Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold, intimidating or like a test you have to pass. I’m here to help you grow while keeping things real, warm and even a little fun when it’s needed. I’m direct and honest, but I also empower you to find your own voice and path. We’ll laugh sometimes, but we’ll also get serious about the work that matters most to you.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, direct and empowering. I specialize in sex and relationships, helping clients navigate challenges while honoring their identities, desires and boundaries. I’m poly, kink, BDSM and LGBTQIA+ knowledgeable and affirming, and I create a nonjudgmental space for you to explore what you need. I blend practical tools from CBT with a person-centered approach, so you leave each session feeling seen and with clear steps you can take. We’ll work together at your pace while keeping your goals at the center.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to leave sessions with clarity, tools you can actually use, and a deeper understanding of yourself. You’ll feel motivated to take steps that align with your goals, even if they’re small. I want you to feel lighter, more confident, and capable of creating the life and relationships you want, one session at a time.
