Acceptance Counseling PLLC

I am passionate about working with people who are stigmatized due to their gender, sexuality, and sexual behaviors/desires. Specifically, I enjoy working with people with paraphilias, assisting them with increasing self acceptance and understanding. I have experience working with people who have been incarcerated for engaging in paraphilic behaviors. Assisting them with navigating shame, trauma, reconnecting with community, and the difficulties of probation. I also have a wide range of personal and professional experience with kink, BDSM, and ethical non monogamy.

As a queer neurodivergent therapist, I seem to have found my niche working with other queer people who are autistic and/or have ADHD. Due to my focus on the queer community, in addition to the kink and paraphilia communities, I have additional competencies in complex trauma, addiction, abuse, and shame. I have been trained to perform gender health assessments, and can write letters to assist people in obtaining gender affirming care.

I have an eclectic approach, with a heavy incorporation of IFS (parts work) along with ACT and DBT skills. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and that my role is to assist you with connecting to your internal wisdom. I am Gottman trained and incorporate their communication skills to assist you with sharing your needs and wants with your loved ones.
