Dame Mas CPC

I provide trauma-informed, sex-positive therapy for individuals and couples in Fairfax and Alexandria, VA. My work focuses on intimacy challenges, sexual shame, betrayal recovery, religious or cultural trauma, and rebuilding trust in relationships. I am kink-affirming, poly-affirming, and LGBTQ+ inclusive.

My approach blends Somatic Internal Family Systems (IFS), Integrative Sex Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, helping clients connect with their bodies, release shame, and build intimacy that feels authentic and empowering. For couples, I integrate Gottman-informed tools, including the Gottman Relationship Checkup, to provide a research-based map of relationship strengths and challenges.

In addition to ongoing therapy, I offer a 4-hour Couples Therapy Intensive — an immersive session designed for focused transformation when weekly therapy isn’t enough. Intensives include assessment, shared-language coaching, evidence-based interventions, and a personalized plan for continued growth.

All new clients begin with a 90-minute intake session, which allows time to ground in the body, share your story, and identify the areas you most want to work on. From there, ongoing sessions may be 60, 75, or 90 minutes, depending on your needs and pacing.

Whether you are navigating betrayal, exploring kink or polyamory, or simply seeking to reconnect with yourself and your partner(s), my practice is a space to explore, heal, and grow at the pace your system can hold.
