Many people have found that they thrive in relationship structures that stretch beyond what dominant culture deems "traditional." Exploring sex and sexuality can bring a variety of unique challenges to sense of self and relatoinship. Whether you are in the beginning stages of exploration with a primary partner or you are in an established poly relationship, we can work together to confront vulnerabilities, the dynamics of power and control, and the communication breakdowns that are a part of all relationships. Our therapeutic work can assist in addressing these concerns within the primary couple or your extended relationship structure.

LGBT-friendly polyamory-friendly kink-friendly pagan provides acupuncture in a non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere. See my website (acupunkgirl.com) for the many benefits of acupuncture. Acupuncture helps most people with most complaints and illnesses through bringing the body back into a natural state of balance. Acupuncture stimulates the body's own natural healing resources without drugs and with minimal side effects. Most side effects of acupuncture are beneficial such as a sense of well-being and calm relaxation. Emotional release and regulation are supported by acupuncture and acupuncture is a good therapy to use in conjunction with treatment for PTSD and trauma. I work out of several locations.
