Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

Being a therapist is an honor. It isn’t easy to seek help for the problems that impact your life. I privilege the experiences, inner wisdom and strengths of my clients to help them solve their own problems. I believe that people are inherently good, capable, and resilient. My therapy style focuses on and integrates what is most important to you. You are the expert on your life, and my job is to witness and respond creatively to the challenges, joys, and sorrows you experience with effective interventions and strategies to help you through life’s difficult moments. I am a poly-aware professional, and privilege your definition of what family, love, and relationship means to you!

I work with individuals and couples (monogamous, polyamorous, and ENM - vanilla & kinky) who are feeling unfulfilled and/or disconnected in their relationships, marriages, and dating experiences. My specialities are the following: exploring/navigating the world of kink/BDSM (beg-experienced), the world of ethical non-monogamy/polyamory (in the dating space, opening relationship, and in established ENM/poly relationships (beg-experienced), communicating about sexual needs and wants, expanding and exploring your spectrum of sex and pleasure, low libido/desire discrepancy.

In my work with individuals and relationships of all constellations, I create an affirming place for folks who identify as poly, kink, and LGBTQ. I have experience helping folks navigate and thrive in open relationships and/or their own polyamorous identity and can also offer a non-judgmental space for folks in alternative arrangements to explore other non-related issues.

I work with clients in a warm and interactive manner, and adjust my approach based on the specific needs of each client. I work from a psychodynamic and relational approach and help my clients discover the patterns that are holding you back, and experiment with new ways of being. I also incorporate mindfulness and body awareness into my work.

My areas of focus are:

• Gender and Sexuality

• Sex, Intimacy and Relationships

• Couples and Partners

• Neuro-diversities and Disabilities

• Self Esteem and Body Confidence

I primarily work with the LGBTQ2S+, poly/ENM and Kink communities. I use she/her pronouns and pride myself on providing a welcoming, positive, and knowledgeable space for LGBTQ2S+, BIPOC, HIV+, Neuro-diverse, Sex Worker, Kink, and Poly folks

Blending traditional & body-oriented (somatic) psychotherapy techniques, I work with Adults, Couples & Families of all constellations. My work is heart-centered and strength-based. Offering concrete tools to heal, build new possibilities, and work through the interpersonal challenges of life, I assist my clients (including those who are Poly, Kink-oriented, Queer, Trans, Gender-Queer & Questioning) in opening to their innate vitality, connecting more effectively with the ones they love, and embracing the lives they want to lead.

I employ a combination of theoretical frameworks and techniques to tailor treatment to each client’s unique goals. I have worked with a diverse population of clients experiencing a wide range of clinical concerns. I am LGBTQIA+ and kink affirming, as well as knowledgeable about the polyamory and consensual non-monogamy culture. I enjoy working with individuals and any constellation of relationships collaboratively.

Note: I am currently not accepting new clients as I will be on maternity leave.

Through my training and experience, I have discovered that healing of mind, body, and spirit truly come from within. Our job is to assist people in finding balance so that true self-healing can take place. So often this means simply creating kind, welcoming opportunities for people to feel their feelings and examine their relationships. But I also think that there are internal mechanisms for healing – potentials within each of us. Whether you are seeking assistance in healing imbalance in physical, emotional, or relationship parts of your life, I believe you can experience remarkable movement toward greater health and happiness. I am at the downtown office.

I am a licensed therapist providing in person and telehealth therapy services to assist folks of all different backgrounds with navigating mental health and wellness in a non-judgmental space that is accepting of polyamourous, CNM, and kink/bdsm lifestyles and orientations. I have a background in working with substance misuse and trauma as well as engaging in LGBTQ+ affirming communities. I work primarily with adults.

We all know need more self-care, but few of us really know what it is that means. I help clients evaluate what they need to improve their quality of life and identify what is blocking them, whether it is establishing better boundaries, slowing down, building more self-compassion or learning the practice of mindful living. Most of us can benefit from reflection, learning to put space between emotional responses and reactions; and can use a break from thoughts. I help clients evaluate their inner narratives and empower them to build a life that honors their core value system and personal uniqueness.

I work with many adolescents, teenagers and individual adults, both male and female. My modalities primarily are CBT and DBT, with a strong concentration on mindfulness and positive affirmation skill training. My areas of focus include: anxiety, self-compassion, self-harm and trauma. I work with clients who have non-traditional relationships and jobs. I consider myself sex-positive and gender affirming. I work closely with the LGBTQIA+ and queer community. I am also an avid animal lover, passionate scuba diver, cheese connoisseur and world traveler.

I specialize in helping individuals and partners navigate the extra something that makes their relationship(s) a unique challenge. Folks I work with are often loving outside of the cisheteronormative & mononormative structure such as ethical non-monogamy, kink/BDSM, or other LGBTQ2S+ relationships. I also work with people whose experience of the world may be impacting their relationships, such as folks who are neurodivergent, individuals living with disability, or folks for whom trauma is showing up. I strive to help folks design the intentional relationships they are struggling to create on their own.

What we’ll work on together is understanding how the particulars of your life intersect with your relationship and shape your needs, communication, and boundaries. We will begin a dialogue about the intersection of the relationship(s) and the condition(s)/context(s) which can help to improve the level of understanding and empathy in the relationship.

I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation if you wish to learn more about how we can best address your specific needs and to help you determine whether I would be a good person to collaborate with on your journey.

Are you newly venturing into non-monogamy and are feeling excited about navigating this new dynamic, but eager to make sure you are doing it “right”? Or maybe you’ve been enjoying a multi-partner relationship structure for some time, but have recently encountered some new obstacles that are causing you to feel stressed and unsure.
