I have many identities — Persian, queer, kinky, polyamorous, disabled… to name a few.
My goal is to create and hold a safe and non-judgmental space for folx who want to explore what it means to be their most radically authentic self. I hope to support and empower folx to understand their sexuality, their identity, and their desires - and what that means for them and their relationships.
According to the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, I am a kink knowledgeable professional. No matter the terminology (whether you prefer kink knowledgeable, aware, or friendly), I am a therapist who is open-minded, non-judgmental, and supportive of the kink and BDSM lifestyle. Whether you are starting to explore kinky fantasies or have been living the lifestyle for a while, I hope to empower you and give you the support you are looking for.
I also specialize in non-monogamous relationships, including but not limited to: polyamory, open marriages/relationships, swinging, triads, quads, poly families, relationship anarchy, solo polyamory, and more — essentially, anything that falls under the umbrella of “ethical non-monogamy.” I am here to guide you through the issues that may arise if you are considering opening your relationship/marriage or if you have already been living a “more than monogamous” lifestyle. Some of those issues may include: navigating boundaries, safer sex practices, communication skills, how to process jealousy, understanding compersion, and feelings of insecurity, neglect, or inadequacy.
There are a variety of reasons people find themselves needing therapy. Counseling is a way for you to uncover new information about yourself, your relationships, and where you can deepen your emotional and cognitive awareness. Maybe you find yourself in crisis and need a therapist to talk to where you can speak openly and privately. You may also come to therapy for maintenance, where you can strengthen your relationships, or work on becoming your best self.
Let’s work together to embrace vulnerability and authenticity while exploring and pushing boundaries in a safe and therapeutic way.
