I understand the importance of finding a therapist who will not pathologize your kinks and fetishes, your Poly or BDSM relationships, or your celibacy or asexuality. I work from a foundation of compassion, and my top priority is providing a safe place to explore yourself and to facilitate personal growth and change.

Service all ages. LGBTGEQIAP+, Polyamorous relationship and family systems, and CNM/ENM are populations that I love to work with. Kink knowledgeable and sex positive. ENM Lv1 completion (Martha Kauppi) Inclusive and affirming environment.

I offer a therapeutic approach to working with individuals, couples, polycules, and families to enhance communication, boundaries, and goals. I do not view therapy as a one size fits all model, and generally focus on offering person-centered care. My approach to working with clients is creative and collaborative.

The nature of life is to grow. We honor this most fundamental law of nature through our relationships. But without this understanding in relationship situations, we wrongly mistake the impulse to grow as a problem, rooted in past fearful memories, projected into an imagined future. Having the knowledge, tools and courage to own our individual interior reality, is imperative for healthy relationships. Learn how to love and support one another in staying identified with the Self, making peace with and resolving Egoic fears, and consciously create the loving relationships you deserve. I have been a Psychotherapist for ten years and practicing polyamory for five. I provide a free short phone consultation for prospective clients. I also offer Relationship Coaching, Parenting Education and Support, and Introductory Meditation Instruction.

We all carry pain. This pain can come from many places. For many of us as queer people, it may come from navigating the world with one or more stigmatized identities, or simply from our broader lived experiences. I see therapy as an opportunity to understand and connect to your inner self, your identities, and your pain. I aim for you to feel seen, heard, and held, and for you to see that you, with all your complexities and pain, are whole and enough, just as you are. We will attend to areas of struggle and celebrate your already existing areas of strength. In this way, we can work together to ease the burden of the pain you carry and find relief and healing. To feel joy, as well as pain, is our humanity.

The central tenet of my approach to our work together is mutual curiosity. Together, you and I will co-create a space where you can gain a better understanding of all the different parts of you, where you can discover and grow, and unlearn and shed those things which may not suit your growth, and where you can be both held and challenged with care and compassion.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I pull from different lenses depending on what feels most helpful in the moment. We can utilize a psychodynamic approach to understand how your past experiences may impact you in the present, a cognitive behavioral approach to build awareness around and change unconscious thought patterns that no longer serve you, or a systems approach to acknowledge the impact family, cultural, and institutional systems may have on your life. Overlaying all this, I approach our work together with authenticity, humor, and warmth.

Tapping into the vulnerability therapy requires isn’t easy, but you are here, already having taken the first huge step in this process. Good for you. Let’s explore together.

My goal as a clinical psychologist is to help motivated adults to identify what they want out of life, figure out what’s getting in their way, and overcome those obstacles to achieve the lives they want. I am particularly interested in working with clients in the kink and polyamory communities, as well as the wider geeky/nerdy communities with which those often overlap. Whatever you’re into, chances are I’ve heard of it, I won’t be shocked by it, and I won’t leap to conclusions about you based on it. I work with adults of all ages and genders (I identify as male myself). For more information, please see my practice website and/or call or email to set up an initial appointment. Your initial contact will be received by my colleague, Dr. Sarah Gray, who can discuss payment options and other issues and schedule an initial appointment with me. She will ask for some information about your therapy goals, but it is perfectly acceptable to wait to share information about your sexuality (if you so choose) until you have had a chance to meet and get comfortable with your therapist. Note: currently all therapy is remote; remote therapy will likely remain available even once in-person sessions resume.
