Are you having a tough time figuring out what is going on in your life and why? Or maybe you have some idea but aren’t sure how to begin to change it? Have you tried traditional therapy but felt misunderstood, judged, or let down? Or do you feel trapped or hopeless and wish things were different? I might be just the person who can help.

​

My primary areas of expertise are identity, sex, intimacy, and relationships. Some areas of support:

​

• Understanding and managing your kinks

• Introducing kink to a lover, partner, or spouse

• Identifying/developing your Dominance or submission

• Developing and nurturing intimate relationships

• Intimacy problems and solutions

• How to identify and negotiate your needs

• Self-awareness, development, and actualization

• Feelings of sexual inferiority

• How to have better sex

• Understanding and exploring gender and/or sexual identity and expression

• Gender transition

 

If you are having difficulty with these or other related issues, I may be able to help you. I have a Bachelor's in Psychology and completed work toward a Master's in Clinical Psychology where I had training to be a psychotherapist. Professionally, I have experience as a counselor and coach, case manager, consultant, sexual behavior and health educator, and advocate. I also have extensive experience with many of these issues on a personal level.

​

Additionally, I have competence and experience working with a variety of people. From those with various gender identities and presentations, sexual orientations, ethnicities and colors, religions and spiritualities, vocations, income levels, health conditions, and life experiences. I consider myself a cultural "chameleon".

​

My theoretical orientation is eclectic, but grounded in a transpersonal ethic. In my work with you, I may employ different perspectives but primarily use a blend of psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, emotionally-focused, narrative, collaborative, and solution-focused frameworks. I also welcome incorporating a spiritual/religious component that is reflective of your beliefs, if that is important to you.

​

My style is a results-driven blend of information gathering, analysis and coaching. I can help you discover what may be hidden to you and conceive of a plan to make the change in your life you want to make, remembering that change is incremental.

​

I provide both individual and couples counsel and coaching to people of any sex, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, color, nationality, (dis)ability, and age 18 and over. I can offer support to you for one session or several.
