A bit about me... 

AASECT Certified Sex Therapist

Level 1 trained PACT therapist (Couple Therapy)

Certified Brainspotting Therapist (Trauma Therapy, similar to EMDR)

PhD Candidate - Clinical Sexology, BDSM and Kink concentration, Transgender Health concentration.

I have a strong connection to the LGBTQIA+ and nonmonogamous communities, and work primarily (but not entirely) with those populations. I am kink experienced, and have additional training to work in these areas. Although I am trained as a sex therapist, I also enjoy working with a variety of people and challenges. 

I utilize a mix of internal family systems, PACT therapy, brainspotting and psychoeducation to help clients better align their brain and their body.  I like to ask a lot of questions that helps you find your own way forward and link together threads and patterns in your life you may not be aware of. I'm direct and directive as a therapist, and I enjoy being creative in developing interventions that are specific to your needs.

I identify as a nonmonogamous, queer, kinky, and mostly ciswoman. I am an avid outdoorsman and science nerd. I have spent close to twenty years in positions of leadership, helping build social communities that connect people to each other. I have been a part of the nonmonogamy research community for over a decade. My PhD dissertation is on New Relationship Energy.
