About
You opened your relationship hoping it would bring you closer, add something vital, and open new doors. You wanted to feel more alive, more connected, and more at home in yourself. What you probably did not expect was the weight of it. The insecurity that surfaces when your partner mentions someone new. The guilt that can come with wanting more than one bond. The conversations that spiral until you both feel hurt, confused, and unsure where things are heading. You still want this to work, but some days it feels like more than you signed up for. The excitement you anticipated has been replaced by anxiety and overwhelm, and something needs to shift. There is a way through this. You deserve to feel clear and confident in the choices you are making about your relationships. You deserve to communicate openly, feel safe, and enjoy the connections you are building without fear running the show. With the right support, you can untangle what is driving the tension between you, repair the fractures, and create agreements that genuinely feel fair and secure for everyone involved. I work with people navigating ethical non-monogamy and polyamory, and I understand that these relationship structures come with their own unique challenges. In therapy, we will look at what is underneath the jealousy, the fear, and the uncertainty, not with judgment, but with genuine curiosity and care. Together, we will strengthen how you communicate, rebuild trust where it has weakened, and help your relationships feel more grounded and emotionally fulfilling. Counseling can give you the tools to navigate difficult emotions, set boundaries that actually work, and move forward with intention. Your relationships do not have to feel this heavy. With the right mental health support, they can grow in ways that feel meaningful, connected, and true to who you are. Specialties: I specialize in affirming, trauma-informed therapy for Sexual and Gender Minorities, including the BDSM and kink community, those in consensual non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships, and LGBTQ individuals. I am experienced with helping clients navigate shame, guilt, fear, and disconnection. In our work together, you'll gain insight into past hurts so you can answer the question "Why am I like this" and develop skills that allow you to embrace yourself fully. My practice focuses on creating a space where you can explore these experiences without judgment and move toward deeper self-acceptance. Credentials & Experience: Experienced in providing affirming support to individuals across the Sexual and Gender Minority Community, including LGBTQ identities, Consensual Non-Monogamy and Polyamory, BDSM and Kink, Cuckoldry, Swingers, and many other diverse relationship structures and expressions.
"My therapeutic approach is grounded in Attachment-Based Psychodynamic Theory, an evidence-based framework that explores how your early relationships shape the way you connect with others and experience yourself today. By understanding these patterns together, we can uncover what may be standing in the way of your growth and healing. I am also trained in a range of additional modalities, and I draw on them as needed to fit your unique goals and needs. Together, we will figure out which methods work best for you, so that your therapy feels personalized, relevant, and effective."
