I’m Elmo, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP), and Life & Relationship Coach with a background in comedy. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, Autism & ADHD, relationship problems, and coping with chronic illness.
I’ve been queer and kinky my whole life, and in 2004, I completed Cleo DuBois’ Erotic Dominance Intensive and spent years in mentorship in the San Francisco BDSM community. I have also been practicing Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM) for over 20 years. In me, you will find a strong collaborator who appreciates uniqueness of all kinds, including artistic expressions, love styles, gender expressions, creative relationship structures, and beautifully divergent neurology.
My approach is collaborative, warm, and affirming. I love helping people remember who they are through mindfulness, playfulness, and humor. I am uniquely skilled at liberating people from the grip of shame, and compassionately supporting people that may not feel like they fit into a box. We'll talk about any modalities used so you can be an active participant in your therapy process. No matter how flawed you feel inside right now, we can help you find your way back to your unique brilliance, courageousness, aliveness, creativity, and authenticity.
