Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I’m a relationship and sex therapist based in Greenville, SC, providing online therapy for folks throughout South Carolina and North Carolina. If you want to improve your communication and the emotional or sexual intimacy of your relationship(s), let’s connect. Sex-positive and affirmative care for LGBTQ+, consensual non-monogamy (CNM)/polyamory, and kink/fetish/BDSM populations. I intentionally maintain a small practice, which allows me to provide you with individualized care and attention. Call or text me to schedule a free, 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit to work together. I look forward to hearing from you!

Adults 18+. All sessions are conducted online through a secure, HIPAA-compliant online platform.

I love working with couples and individuals who live lives that are authentic to them, whatever that may look like. I am kink-aware and I enjoy working with various relationship styles and sexual concerns. I’m currently completing my sex therapy education through Sexual Health Alliance.

My therapy style is humanistic, and client centered. I believe it is important to meet you where you are at and hold the space for you to create the life you want. I add components of Emotionally Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy where appropriate.

Our therapeutic relationship acts as a soft-landing place in an oftentimes harsh world, as well as a space for education, empowerment, and authenticity. We will work together to identify core areas that need to be healed for you to create relationships with others and with yourself that you find fulfilling.

To me, part of being a counselor is being an advocate. I believe in providing social, mental, and emotional support to vulnerable populations to reduce human suffering. Holistic health care is the way of the future. I love helping people approach their health in an integrative way. If it sounds like what you are looking for please reach out. I would love to work with you.

I work best with people who can handle a bit of sarcasm and the occasional f*bomb. Relationships are often the focus, but I want to support you in finding your authentic self, you under all the extra noise. I use some CBT, parts work, mindfulness, and PACT (attachment based couples work). I’m also video game positive. I work with adults and couples.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, triads etc, friendships and fluid bonded poly communities. My priority as a therapist is to create a safe space for you. When any of us seeks out therapy, we are likely suffering. To suffer is to be in a very tender place, and I want to honor that. Whether your suffering comes from early childhood trauma, more recent losses, relationship problems, social injustice, adjustment to big changes in your life… I want you to feel safe and companioned as you move toward tending those places of wounding and toward healing.

I have spent my life working to make space for those who know what it is to be an outsider. As a therapist, I value your way of seeing the world and yourself, and I see our work together as very collaborative. My history in activism, the arts and mindfulness informs my approach to psychotherapy. I believe that who we are is influenced not just by our interpersonal relationships but also by our social and political environments, and the standards against which everyone is measured. Part of our work will be allowing you a space outside of those standards to explore your authentic self.

I work with adults and children, and have worked extensively in the poly, LGBTQIQ, kinky communities.

I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, burnout, and difficulties due to trauma. I provide virtual EMDR services and specialize in working with helping professionals. My practice is anti-oppressive and affirming of all identities, backgrounds, and relationship orientations.

I also practice Geek Therapy, which involves the use of a client’s interests as both a point of connection between therapist and client, and a way to relate the client’s experiences to those of favorite fictional characters.

I offer individual counseling for adults 18+, especially those experiencing feelings of isolation or “differentness” due to non-conforming/non-mainstream interests, lifestyle choices, neurodivergence, gender identity, sexuality, etc. I have also worked with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transition concerns, and other types of life issues.

For me, therapy is about listening, not just responding. I want clients to feel safe, secure, and feel validated. My style is person centered, solution focused, and highly collaborative. I tend to use a psychodynamic, strengths-based approach that enhances skills you already use, mixed with a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including CBT, DBT, family of origin, and feminist therapy.

• I work with people from ages 18 and up, dealing with anxiety and other concerns related to their mental health. People wanting to heal from their traumas, from their family of origin and/or traumas due to living in a monogamous society with such limiting beliefs about who we can be.

I work with relationships of all types to break long-standing patterns of conflict or to navigate recent ruptures in order to help my clients arrive at a truer sense of love and connection. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals, dyads, and triads who are exploring ethically non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships and/or engaging in kink. I strongly believe that relationships, including the one formed between counselor and client, have the ability to serve as containers for significant personal growth as well as relational healing. As I believe strongly in this healing power of relationships, the one that we form together is of critical importance. I offer a complimentary 50-minute initial consultation so that you have an opportunity to get a sense of what it would be like for us to work together.

I am a holistic psychotherapist and the author of The Conscious Sexual Self Workbook. I believe our sexuality is a vital, inspiring, and deeply vulnerable part of us. There is no right way to be sexual or to be in relationship; there is only the way that is right for you. And, just to keep things interesting, that changes throughout our life! I support individuals, couples, and other relationship configurations in discovering deeper joy, passion, and connection in the sexual arena and in other areas of their lives. I am LGBTQIK friendly and aware. I have experience with Trauma, HIV+ clients, Non-Binary gender, Kink, and diverse spiritual and religious beliefs.

I provide individual mental health counseling to teens and adults. I have experience working with many mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, anger management and stress management. My extensive knowledge of kink, polyamory, bdsm, and the LGBTQ+ community give me a thorough understanding of the needs of members of those communities, and I support members of those communities in my work. I firmly believe that polyamory, bdsm, and kink are perfectly healthy and valid expressions of sexuality, but I also know that they can be unhealthily practiced as well. My experience helps me determine the difference between healthy sexuality and unhealthy sexuality.

I am currently providing telehealth sessions only to clients located in Florida.
