I believe that the relationship between a counselor and client is the key ingredient in the growing and healing process. My counseling style is drawn from many research-based therapies. I am a certified Clinical Sexologist and Sex Therapist. I love to discover new ways to help others find clarity and resolve their dilemmas. My hope for my clients is to help them find peace and learn to manage life gracefully.

I am a Certified Clinical Sexologist, Sex Therapist, and a Certified Kink Conscious Therapist. My specialties include working with LGBTQIA+ community, Kink, BDSM, and non-monogamous couples. Extensive experience working with trauma. Alternative ways of living are my specialties, and I am honored to work with anyone navigating or living these lifestyles.
