About My Clients

My clients are LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families, alongside people identified with or impacted by a range of diverse sexual expression, romantic orientations, and relationship configurations.

My Background and Approach

As a sexologist, I offer education, counseling, and consultation for individuals, families, partners, and professionals. I am not a psychotherapist; rather I am an extensively trained and experienced (17+ years) sexuality and relationship specialist. I often work with clients who are also in therapy, but who are looking to add a more goal-oriented, action-focused, and short-term approach to issues of self and relationship. I view my clients as partners in creating the change they seek. My collaborative approach honors that you are the expert in your own experience. In bringing a holistic, intersectional, and harm reduction process to my practice, I am able to meet you where you are at to create a customized plan for deepening your understanding and accomplishing your goals. I view accountability and “homework” between sessions as an important part of this, and will always strive to create structures that work best for you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, kink-knowledgeable, nonmonogamy-knowledgeable, sex positive, sex worker affirming, and trauma-informed. I love animals and the environment and volunteer time around both of those passions. I also have extensive harm reduction and psychedelic-assisted therapy experience and love to discuss those topics.
