sex therapy

Stop Struggling. Start Loving. I work with people who want more from life, sex & relationships. I work people ready to compassionately cut through the BS to create a life worth loving.

Sex therapy & couples therapy for intimacy, betrayal, and trust repair. Specialist care, not weekly check-ins. Most clients come twice a month or monthly. Kink & poly affirming, culturally responsive. In Persona and virtual in Virginia. Virtual in South Carolina

I specialize in sex and relationship therapy for polyamory & open relationships, BDSM & kink, LGBTQ issues, and interracial relationships. I've been openly queer and poly for over 10 years, and in that time, I've built the life of my dreams from the ground up. I can't wait to help you do the same.

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'm an AASECT member pursuing Certified Sex Therapist (CST) licensure at Authentically You Counseling, a practice specializing in queer-affirming and trans-affirming care. My areas of focus include sexual trauma recovery, sexual anxieties, kink, BDSM, ENM, and religious trauma recovery.
