My Approach

Who I Work With

I work with adults — individuals, couples, and moresomes — across the spectrums of:

  • Gender identity and expression

  • Sexual orientation and identity

  • Relationship structures, both traditional and nontraditional

I especially love supporting:

  • Queer, trans, and nonbinary folks

  • Fat folks and individuals interested in body liberation

  • Kinky and ethically nonmonogamous people

  • Sex workers (current or former)

  • Fellow therapists, creatives, and healers

Please note: I do not offer therapy from a porn/sex addiction model or from conversion-based models. I may not be the best fit for you if a primary therapy goal is to use therapy to try to lose weight.

What I Help With

Sexuality, Embodiment, and Relationship Issues:

  • Libido, arousal, desire, orgasm, and other function issues

  • Relationship to erotic and sexual pleasure, and pleasure in general

  • Sexual pain

  • Compulsive or out-of-control sexual behavior

  • Gender-affirming transition needs and care

  • Navigating polyamory and nonmonogamy

  • Kink, BDSM, and fetish exploration

  • Communication and intimacy challenges

  • Sexual identity and orientation questions

  • Asexuality, aromanticism, repulsion, and obligation

  • Deconstructing compulsory sexuality

  • Healing from sexual and gender-based trauma

I also bring specialized experience working with:

  • Sex workers and folks in the sex industry

  • Survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence

Body Work & Liberation:

I support clients in healing their relationships with food, movement, body image, and embodiment—and how these experiences intersect with sexuality and self-worth. I offer this work from a counter-cultural and anti-diet approach.

Modalities & Frameworks

My practice is informed by feminist therapy, queer theory, anti-oppressive practice, narrative therapy, trauma informed care, acceptance and commitment therapy, and parts work. My practice is also deeply informed by Health at Every Size®, Intuitive Eating, and Body Trust®. I utilize EMDR for trauma work as needed.
