I deeply value collaboration, curiosity & compassion, aiming to provide a radically accepting & non-judgmental space to explore desires, needs & shadow. Together, we’ll examine patterns & move toward creating a thriving relationship with life. My gentle yet direct approach blends humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, somatic & mindfulness practices. Sessions will focus on creating healthy boundaries & expanding tolerance for discomfort while being trauma-informed & culturally sensitive. Everyone deserves to be valued & understood. Together, we’ll foster healing, liberation & authentic connections. My practice focuses on healthy sexuality, relationship dynamics & affirming alternative lifestyles, such as CNM, kink, sex workers, MAPs & paraphilias.
Let’s embrace the pain and the pleasure!
