While kink, BDSM, and non-monogamy can play a uniquely healthy role in many people’s lives, integrating it into a loving, intimate relationship can be a challenge. Stigma is experienced by some who come to see me and, in any form, impedes the well-being of those who are exposed to it. Therefore, finding a San Diego Kink and Non-Monogamous Aware Therapist who can provide an open and non-judgmental space for you to discuss and affirm what is going on in your life is crucial.
My affirming therapy approach supports individuals of diverse sexualities communities, including kink, BDSM, consensual non-monogamy, swingers, polyamory, sex workers, and those in the adult novelty industry. As an affirming therapist in San Diego, I wish to help you through the fear of being misunderstood, so we can get to the issues that are most pressing to you.
My approach to therapy is through relational models such as Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman as well as cognitive-behavioral therapy. Knowing yourself is the key to knowing why you behave and feel the way you do. Through self-exploration, you will develop better self-awareness. You will understand why certain things elicit anxiety, and what makes you feel happy and satisfied, so you can use these newfound understandings to make sense of your emotions and reactions to outside stressors.
Do not waste another minute being paralyzed by fear of not being heard or supported for the life you live. We can explore together these and/or other life-related topics, knowing you are in a safe, non-judgmental space.
