If you’ve ever felt like you were “too much,” “not enough,” or just plain misunderstood—you’re in the right place. I work with individuals and couples who are ready to explore their inner world with curiosity instead of shame. Whether you're navigating identity shifts, relationship challenges, or the weight of unspoken trauma, you don’t have to do it alone. This space is designed for those who think deeply, feel intensely, and crave real connection—especially if you're part of the kink, BDSM, or ENM community, late-diagnosed neurodivergent, healing from toxic relationships, or facing the emotional transitions of midlife. You deserve a therapist who gets it. My approach is sex-positive, trauma-aware, and deeply respectful of your autonomy. I’m not here to “fix” you—I’m here to walk beside you as you reclaim your voice, your desires, and your sense of self. Together, we’ll untangle the stories that no longer serve you and build a foundation rooted in authenticity, agency, and emotional safety. You are not broken. You’re becoming. If that speaks to something inside you, let’s talk.
