THERAPY IN SAN FRANCISCO & ONLINE ACROSS CA
Love and desire don’t come in one shape.
Be seen, celebrated, and supported—therapy for sex, intimacy, and the 2SLGBTQIA+, poly, kinky communities.
Do you long to live authentically—in your identity, relationships, and desires—without the weight of others’ expectations?
Love and desire don’t always fit the mold. Maybe you and your partner(s) are struggling to talk about intimacy, navigating jealousy in poly or ENM, or wanting kink and pleasure to feel safe and freeing. Perhaps the world outside doesn’t recognize your relationship—leaving you to shrink parts of yourself just to belong. And for some, sexual trauma makes it harder to trust your body, your partner, or even your own desires.
Whether you’re exploring identity, deepening intimacy, or strengthening your relationships, this is a space where all parts of you are welcome. Together, we’ll untangle old patterns, nurture connection, and celebrate the relationships and desires that matter most to you—while also offering support for healing from sexual trauma, if that’s part of your story. Ultimately, you can reclaim safety and pleasure on your own terms.
Together, We’ll Release Shame And Cultivate Self-Love.
In this safe and affirming space, you’ll be supported in releasing shame and cultivating deep self-love—whether individually or with your partner(s). Together, we’ll untangle the beliefs that block intimacy, trust, and authentic connection, while nurturing the confidence and acceptance you deserve. Whether you’re exploring queer identity, navigating poly or kink dynamics, strengthening communication in your relationship, or healing from sexual trauma, therapy offers a place to grow, heal, and belong fully in who you are.

HOW WE’LL WORK TOGETHER
Pleasure Is Your Birthright—So Is Belonging.
Using tools like EMDR, expressive arts, parts work, and body-based therapies, we’ll address the roots of sexual trauma, betrayal, or identity-based wounds. EMDR helps reprocess painful memories so they lose their grip on the present. Expressive arts and parts work give voice to silenced parts of your identity, while body-oriented therapies restore your connection to safety, pleasure, and presence in your own skin. Whether you’re seeking support as an individual or with a partner, therapy will help you reclaim confidence, embrace your desires, and cultivate intimacy that feels safe, authentic, and deeply nourishing.
We’ll begin by exploring the messages you’ve absorbed from childhood, past relationships, or society—those beliefs about who you “should” be, how you “should” love, or what parts of you are acceptable. I know from my own life that shame and silence around identity and intimacy can cut deep, and that finding spaces of acceptance is profoundly healing. Together, we’ll unlearn these patterns, heal the wounds they’ve left behind, and create space for more authentic ways of connecting—with yourself and with others.
Unpack the Stories You’ve Inherited—And Write Your Own.
In our work together, we’ll unpack the expectations and systemic messages you’ve absorbed—about gender, sexuality, relationships, or what it means to be “enough.” For many in the 2SLGBTQIA+, poly, and kinky communities, these beliefs are rooted in rejection, shame, or cultural pressure. Sometimes healing also means acknowledging the privilege we carry and the harm we’ve caused or witnessed, even within our own communities.
This is a space for compassion, accountability, and growth. Whether you’re an individual healing from sexual trauma, a couple navigating intimacy, or a partner exploring polyamory or kink, affirming therapy can help you release shame, strengthen trust, and reconnect with your authentic self. Together, we’ll honor the resilience of queer, poly, and kinky communities while creating space for deeper self-love, authentic connection, and a belonging that feels true to you.

My methods include talk therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma healing, expressive arts to explore and release emotions, and body-oriented therapies to help you reconnect with your physical self. I also use parts work, which helps us connect with the different parts of you—whether it’s a protective part holding shame, a wounded inner child longing for care, or a resilient part ready to step forward. These approaches are tailored to support your journey of self-discovery, healing, and living authentically in a safe, affirming space.

Yes. I work with queer, poly, kinky, and sex-positive couples (and multi-partner constellations) to strengthen communication, navigate jealousy, and deepen intimacy. We’ll explore each partner’s needs and values, while also giving space for the protective parts that show up in conflict—like jealousy, fear, or shame. With compassion, we’ll help these parts soften so connection, trust, and pleasure can grow. Whether you’re new to parenthood, building a poly relationship, or reconnecting after betrayal, therapy can help you feel closer and more supported.
