Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered (USA)

I’m a queer, radically sex-positive therapist who specializes in issues around sexuality, anxiety, and attachment difficulties. My approach honors how the mind-body-culture connection affects our relationships with ourselves and others. Drawing from modalities like psychosomatic therapy, internal family systems (IFS), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I gently push clients to engage with, and heal from, the scary stuff. I’m particularly passionate about helping survivors of sexual trauma get in touch with their bodies and sexuality in a way that feels safe and fulfilling. At the core of my practice is the belief that pleasure is a human right, and I’m here to guide clients toward the pleasure, rest, and joy that they deserve. I’m highly knowledgable about and affirming of sex work, kink, polyamory, queerness, neurodiversity, and fat liberation, among others. I’ve worked as a therapist to predominantly queer individuals and couples since 2022 and have several years’ experience in sexual violence intervention prior to that. I work with individuals, couples, polycules, and folks in all sorts of relationships. I also work with kids and teens to provide age-appropriate gender- and sexuality-affirming therapy. Some common concerns that folks see more for include: anxiety, OCD, existential life questions, gender and/or sexuality exploration, and healing from trauma (sexual, religious, relational, family, or other).

I specialize in adults who suspect/were diagnosed late in life with autism, trauma, dissociation, disorders of mood/cognition, and interpersonal issues.

I am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas providing sex therapy for individuals, couples, and all relationship lifestyles. I am passionate towards challenging societal norms around sex, love, and relationships.

I work with adults struggling with dating, loving, relationships, sex & sexuality, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and more.

I created my private practice specifically to focus on identity-affirming care for folks who identify as queer and/or who practice ethical non-monogamy. I personally understand how difficult it is to have a therapist who doesn’t understand polyamory and treats it as something strange or intriguing instead of as an integral part of our life or identity. I see adults for individual therapy via telehealth and plan to add relational therapy with couples/polycules/constellations in the future.

Professional specialties and skills: Anxiety, Depression, Anger management, Assertiveness training, Relationship difficulties, Non-traditional relationships, Issues relating to sex and sexuality, College and graduate students.

I have been trained in relationship therapy through my masters program and additional training on Gottman method couple therapy and EFT. In addition, I have completed over 180 hours of sex therapy training including 20 hours of training specifically in polyamory and other forms of non-monogamy. In my practice I work with individuals, couples, and polyamorous relationship configurations. The bulk of my practice is working with a couple who engage or are wanting to begin engaging in nonmonogamy in some form and I work a lot with the relationship members on communication skills, educating on nonmonogamy, negotiating dynamics and boundaries.

My work is rooted in deep listening, transparency, and present moment awareness. I offer a safe and accountable space in which my clients’ can see, hear, and experience themselves more genuinely, with less defenses. An important part of supporting my clients’ healing involves appreciating the complexity of human experience, and piecing together the emotional, physical, neurological, relational, cultural, and societal components that contribute to my clients’ present concerns. There is no discrete solution, all these pieces are interconnected in the micro and macro levels - cultivating awareness and understanding of this brings forth change. I believe that people should make choices that make them happy, and work hard to instill radical self-love in my clients, as well as working to minimize the effects of internalized societal oppression.

I have been providing individual, family and group counseling for more than two decades, to clients ranging in age from two to 101. Most of us are challenged by transition and change; breaking out of old beliefs and behaviors (even when they are no longer working well) and establishing new ones is not easy. Whether doing counseling with adults or play therapy with children, I strive to work collaboratively, and to balance the use of listening and support with actively offering ideas and strategies. In addition to helping clients reach their counseling goals, my aim is to offer them tools and skills that will continue to be useful long after they have left my office.

Poly, non-monogamous, and mixed-orientation relationships are just as diverse as monogamous ones. Folks can have any number of intimacy dynamics and creative agreements that may need to be renegotiated from time to time, and that requires knowledge of ourselves and clear communication. While not every client will have a need to discuss their relationships or sexuality, every client deserves a therapist who is accepting and affirming of their relationship choices. I work with diverse genders, sexualities, and relationships. I see clients across the lifespan (kids, teens, and adults), for individual, relationship, and family therapy. In particular, I specialize in working with the minorities within the broader LGBT minority, such as poly, bi, kinky, and genderqueer folks. In addition to my private practice, I facilitate a drop-in group for bisexual and bi-curious men (“men” inclusive of trans* folks) at Fenway Community Health in Boston, addressing topics such as Getting Past Stereotypes, Monogamy and Polyamory, Coming Out, and Queering Sexuality.

I also integrate other approaches as appropriate.

I am always interested in how to take what was learned in session and translate it to real life.

I practice somatic psychotherapy, meaning I understand emotions as physical experiences, or that physical, emotional, and mental factors are crucially interrelated. I view therapy as a tool with which we can gain or reclaim access to options, be they in behavior, feelings, or thoughts.

My therapeutic stance is holistic and firmly rooted in harm reduction; I integrate many treatment approaches, including internal family systems psychotherapy, guided imagery meditation, somatic awareness strategies, mindfulness, attachment theory, and dreamwork. I emphasize the body’s ability to heal itself and the regenerative potential of the therapeutic relationship.

I welcome people of all races, ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations. You may identify as queer, genderqueer, male, female, trans, non-binary, gay, straight, pansexual, asexual, kinky, religious, spiritual, atheist, and I look forward to talking with you about how these distinctions of self, and more, inform your reality. I also practice at the Center for Mindful Psychotherapy
