Relationship Counseling
My Approach
In relationship counseling with me, you can expect a supportive and inclusive environment where all relationship dynamics and orientations are welcomed. As a sex-positive and kink-affirming therapist, I prioritize creating a non-judgmental space where individuals can explore and embrace their identities and desires.
My goal is to assist all parties involved in building intimacy, developing effective communication skills, and navigating challenges together.
