For Clinicians 

Specialized training in kink, non-monogamy, and complex relational dynamics — grounded in ethics, depth, and clinical precision.
Most graduate programs do not adequately prepare therapists to work with kinky, polyamorous, and sexually diverse clients.
My trainings bridge that gap.
You will learn how to:
  • Conduct kink-aware and non-monogamy-informed assessments
  • Differentiate relational distress from relational structure
  • Navigate jealousy, attachment injuries, and desire discrepancy
  • Address shame without pathologizing sexuality
  • Avoid common ethical pitfalls with complex relationship systems
  • Work confidently with clients navigating identity, power, and trauma

For Clients

Specialized therapy for individuals and couples navigating sexuality, identity, and complex relationships.
I work with individuals and couples who are:
  • Exploring or practicing non-monogamy
  • Navigating kink dynamics or power exchange
  • Experiencing jealousy, insecurity, or attachment wounds
  • Struggling with desire discrepancy or sexual functioning concerns
  • Healing from relational or sexual trauma
  • Understanding and embracing their LGBTQIA+ identity 
Limited availability for new therapy clients.
