kink

Clinical hypnotherapist specializing in relationships, sexuality, and intimacy. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental and inclusive atmosphere for my clients to explore the various aspects of their sexuality and relationships in a supportive and collaborative way. Working with clients, I help to build self-awareness and resolve deeply ingrained issues surrounding relationships, sexuality, and intimacy.

Individual, Relationship, and Sex Therapy for all genders, orientations, and relationship structures Specializing in polyamory, CNM, kink, gender exploration, attachment, and trauma recovery

We specialize in guiding couples through the process of opening up their previously monogamous relationship, as well as helping those already committed to non-monogamy navigate the ups and down that may occur through engagement in this lifestyle.

I offer affirming, kink-aware, and trauma-informed therapy to individuals, couples, and polycules.

Group practice offering counseling and coaching for individuals of all ages, couples, families, and groups. Our therapists cover a variety of specializations and therapeutic modalities.

Affirming Matters is a private practice offering counseling and coaching services. Devyn Stone is our resident kink educator and alternative lifestyles coach.

My practice focuses on the intersections between and around sex, drugs and death. In our families, relationships, culture, and society these topics are frequently met with silencing or shame. You’re invited to offer yourself the space and time to explore how desire and connection, grieving and loss, shame and authenticity show up for you, and how you’d like them to be more integrated. 

I am a clinical psychologist in CA (PSY32022) who provides kink-affirming (and polyamory/open-affirming) therapy to adults and relationships. I specialize in kink and non-monogamy, mood and anxiety issues, relationship problems, and complex or attachment trauma, using a caring, in-depth approach.
