Kink-affirming therapy

Bring your whole self

People in the kink community often leave important parts of their lives out of therapy, because they expect judgment or don’t want to spend sessions teaching vocabulary. That makes therapy less useful. I’m passionate about supporting members of the kink community, and I know it personally as well as professionally.

Kink is not a symptom. You may want to talk about it directly, or it may simply be part of the background while we focus on something else. Both are fine.

What we might work on

• Shame, secrecy, and self-acceptance
• Exploring desires and identity
• Communication, consent, and negotiation
• Power-exchange relationships and their ups and downs
• Talking with partners about what you want
• Sexual health and wellbeing
• Anxiety, depression, or life changes, without hiding part of your life

How I work

I use a Person-Centered approach: unconditional positive regard, no agenda, and no assumptions about what your life should look like. What you share stays confidential, within the usual legal limits that I’ll explain in our first session.

Practical details

Sessions are 55 minutes, by video. I’m in-network with several insurance plans. See fees and insurance and how to get started.
