Looking for therapy and counseling sucks: it’s difficult to decide whom to put your trust in, which methodologies will work best, and for many people, the costs of it all are formidable. It’s even more challenging when you’re queer, or kinky, or poly, or neurodivergent, or—gods forbid—all of the above. I’ve been there myself: searching through lists of providers for someone who won’t judge my lifestyle before I even step through their office door.
This is why my partner and I, right from the start of our counseling journey, want to intentionally create a safe, affordable space for people from under-served minorities to receive individual & relationship counseling.
Given my own experiences, I especially invite people who are: queer, trans or gender non-conforming, polyamorous or ethically non-monogamous, immigrants and people with migrant backgrounds, kinky, neurodivergent, chronically ill, engaged in sex work, or otherwise under-represented in traditional counseling settings, and people who need, but cannot afford couples counseling due to financial limitations.
Let me help you improve your relationships
You (individually or with partners) can work with me on anything pertaining to your relationships. My focus is mostly on the following areas:
- Relationship growth and improvement Relationship skill building, navigating transitions (moving in together, preparing for children, entering kink dynamics, marriage & divorce, etc.), improving overall relationship health, recovering from infidelity, developing relationship skills, …
- Non-monogamy Adding new relationship partners, going through breakups in polyamorous constellations, opening up a monogamous relationship, (re-)establishing boundaries, navigating changing hierarchies, …
- Queer identities & transitions Exploring and accepting queer identities, navigating gender & identity transitions alone & together, supporting transitioning partners & friends, …
Sounds like a good match for exploring your relationships? Let’s talk!
