Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I am a licensed psychologist, practicing via telehealth. I offer a warm and supportive environment which affirms the diversity of each individual. I enjoy helping people to find creative ways to solve problems and become more fully themselves.

I have lots of experience working with members of the poly, kink/bdsm, bisexual, HIV+, and LGBT communities. I am the author of What Psychology Professionals Should Know About Polyamory ( http://www.polyamory.org/~joe/polypaper.htm ). Other specialties include relationship counseling, depression, anxiety, substance and internet addictions, codependency, and self-acceptance. I am available for consultation with other therapists as well.

Life isn’t easy. Everyone needs someone to talk to at some point in their lives, whether it be a friend, family member, or therapist. Whether it be exploring sexuality, any possible relationship challenges, or just dealing with self-esteem difficulties, I’m here to offer the support you need. I am a little quirky, a little out of the box, and unconventional. I am a nerd at heart, and would love to relate therapy to my client’s favorite video games, movies, anime, or comics. There’s value in learning from our favorite media. I am here as a resource for my clients.

I am Polyamory, Kink, BDSM and Queer friendly. I am secular and won’t be pushing religion, though I respect all religions. I have experience working with neurodivergent individuals, and embrace the idea that we all don’t think or experience things in the same way. Whatever works for us, works for us, it doesn’t need to be a conventional strategy.

I am here to help you, whatever that entails. I would love to work with those willing to dive deep and explore more they didn’t know about themselves. Or even just those who need an empathetic ear, that listens with unconditional positive regard. Using IFS, narrative therapy, and transgenerational theories, we can start processing what you need to process.

I am a Queer therapist of color who is also in community with kinksters and sex workers, and I am equipped to discuss non-monogamy, relationships involving power exchange (e.g., sub/dom dynamics), and fetish-related matters. Therapy sessions can be conducted in English or Mandarin.

I am an experienced individual and couples therapist who works with non monogamy, polyamorous, and alternative lifestyle individuals. I have 15 years experience counseling clients who delve into the worlds of kink and bdsm possibilities for their relationships. My open minded and non judgmental approach are conducive to creating a safe atmosphere to explore communication issues which arise for everyone in all walks of life. I am a licensed therapist and accept some insurance.

“I am a sex-positive, trauma-informed clinician specializing in individuals who are non-monogamous, kinky, queer and/or have chronic illness. I also have a lot of experience working with those diagnosed with personality disorders and OCD. I believe one of the most important components of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and the client. My approach is client-centered, and together we will create a therapy space that feels safe, effective and comfortable for you.

As a therapist, I am warm and supportive while also making sure to hold my clients accountable when necessary. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as well as Mentalization Based Therapy, and will often pull on some of these techniques while bringing in other areas of focus that are important for you.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ and disabled communities, thinking about the way systems impact our mental health is a key part of the way I work. I believe in deconstructing the parts of therapy that could potentially be harmful to clients of marginalized identities. I am constantly educating myself in order to improve and be more informed, and encourage my clients to do the same when they are wanting to engage in that work.

I also have experience working with children who are questioning their gender identity, and providing support to family members.”

English language spoken.

The name Black Sheep Counseling Services was chosen to portray an openness to standing separate or outside of a group. It was created because I noticed a clear need for therapy services that embrace differences and uniqueness. Often a therapist’s own cultural perspective can create judgment and distance that isn’t readily apparent and that blocks progress in therapy. At Black Sheep Counseling Services I believe that therapy exists to help people develop personal insight and to create the life they desire; not as a way to conform others to societal expectations.

I offer both brief and ongoing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and multiple partners in poly relationships. My specialty areas include working with anxiety and sexuality issues. I have extensive experience working with the LGBTQ community and also offer a safe place to explore and discuss BDSM/kink concerns. Please contact me for a free initial phone consultation.
