Great to meet you!

Peace and Blessings, Beautiful Beings. I am passionate about mental health, self-care, and providing client-centered and solution-focused approaches. I assist young adults (18-24) with career exploration, self-esteem and self-confidence, identity and personal development, and the development of intimate relationships. I also assist adults (25+) with life changes, stress management, boundaries, and family and partnership issues.

As a certified sex therapist, I provide insightful and supportive services for sexual and intimacy issues focused on self-pleasure and kink, including BDSM and fetishes, and polyamory and consensual nonmonogamy.

My approach to therapy

I welcome you to a safe space to discuss and share issues and concerns, and to receive insight into your goals and achievements.

I aim to accomplish the following goals with my clients: formulate and understand the impact of past experiences, educate them on self-preservation as it pertains to issues and concerns, encourage positive changes in behavior, develop skills for use in their daily lives, and provide accountability for achieving goals and consistency with their growth.

What you can expect from me

Our work together will focus on creating a safe, respectful, and collaborative environment. You can expect openness and a commitment to helping you better understand yourself while building tools that support your well-being both inside and outside of our sessions.

As we move forward, I encourage you to:

  • Show up honestly, even when it feels uncomfortable
  • Be patient with yourself, as growth takes time
  • Ask questions and share feedback so we can tailor this experience to your needs.

Let's get started!
