As someone who is a survivor and grew up queer and neurodivergent in a small conservative town, I understand the importance of having a safe space where you can explore all of the different facets of yourself. My goal is to co-create an environment with you where you feel empowered to show up authentically, to explore, nurture, and hold every facet of your identity with compassion.
Are you constantly feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or just trying to make it through the day? Are you wanting a space where you can explore sexuality, identity, gender, and kink without feeling shamed? Maybe you’re struggling with reconnecting to your body and mind after sexual/relational trauma.
I take a person-centered, relational approach to therapy, cultivating a space where we can work together to bring more ease, joy, and self-connection into your life.

110 LAFAYETTE ST SUITE 501, NEW YORK, NY
Mine is a general psychotherapy practice in which I pay special attention to alternate sex and gender concerns, and to people living lifestyles involving those concerns. I work with adult individuals and couples of all identities and orientations in the leather, fetish, and transgender communities, and have taught, spoken, and/or published widely in those areas. I also work with anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, trust difficulties, damaged self-esteem, and inner children, any of which may be concerns for people who have been characterized as outsiders in society. Sex and gender issues frequently affect significant others, including romantic and erotic partners, parents, silblings, children, friends, colleagues, and business associates, and I have experience working with them as well. I am a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality, the American Academy of Clinical Sexologists, the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association, and the International Foundation for Gender Education, and I am a once and future member of the National Leather Association.

I work with individuals, partners, couples, families and groups. We explore the spoken and unspoken dynamics of intimacy and boundaries with self and others, of parent-child bonding, and of navigating conflicts, wounding, and trauma past or present. I also work with addictions. My approach is holistic, body-oriented, offers use of expressive arts, and celebrates diversity, particularly of sexual orientation and partnering styles, gender, and spirituality.
I consider therapy a collaborative process, so I work best with clients who have a sense of what troubles them and at least a vague vision for the differences they want. That is where I come in.
I will use my skills to help you identify what specifically is not working for you in your life, develop a vision for the way you wish things were instead, and then narrow that gap. I will follow your lead in setting goals together for the therapy while also utilizing my professional perspectives and experience. My intention is to support an integrated dynamic within your body, mind, emotions, spirit, relationships with others, and with your unique conception of the world in which you live.
While we will probably explore your past experiences, our focus will be on your present experiences and your hopes and desires for your future.
I have offered professional trainings on Poly Parenting Issues, Self-Care, and Expressive Arts Therapy Techniques, and am in progress on a Poly-Aware Professionals Clinical Handboook.
