About Me

Home

Hello! I am a trans/genderqueer (they/them) AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and licensed psychoanalytic psychotherapist. I specialize in working with gender identities, consensual nonmonogamy and varied relationship structures, as well as diverse sexual practices such as kink and BDSM. I've taught at William Alanson White Insititute, Naropa University, and various national organizations and conferences. I've practiced Buddhism and mindfulness training since 2008 and help facilitate meditation retreats in The Rocky Mountains. I am an MFA creative fiction writing candidate at The New School in Manhattan, and a Muay Thai fighter.

As an AASECT certified sex therapist, I offer cutting-edge knowledge and a wealth of experience.  I'm a life-long learner, always improving my treatment approaches to help you find deeper awareness and a sense of peace.  I offer a space of compassion and non-judgment in which to explore issues around gender identity, sexuality, intimacy, and out of control sexual behavior (otherwise known as OCSB, sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior).

I walk alongside you as you explore your inner world. We will discover why you do what you do, and whether you want to continue doing it. Together, we learn how you impact others and yourself. I ask questions that elucidate your true motivations. I help you understand what you actually want so that you can get it.

You're ready to go deeper, but you're not sure how to go about it. If you want to cultivate more freedom in your life, and better understand yourself and your relationships, you've come to the right place.

I'm a poly/kink aware sex therapist who believes that we are all intrinsically wise and whole. I support a wide spectrum of sexual expression. We will move at your pace, and create together a warm environment in which new experiences emerge.

I will be with you in your pain and your joy. I prefer swimming in the deep waters: exploring the bigger questions around the meaning of life and death, how to find and maintain fulfilling relationships, how to thrive in our precious, finite time here.

I offer services in person at 32 Union Square East in New York, via online video and phone meetings within the states of New York and Colorado, and clinical consultation worldwide.

“The human being has an inbuilt propensity toward self-realization. If obstacles are removed...the individual will develop into a mature, fully realized adult, just as an acorn will develop into an oak tree.” —Irvin Yalom
