Therapy for LGBTQIA+, Gender-Diverse, Kink, and Non-Monogamous Adults

Group of people standing close together with arms around each other, representing connection, care, and affirming therapy for LGBTQIA+, gender-diverse, and non-monogamous adults.

You may be here because…

  • You want therapy where you don’t have to explain or defend your life, identity, or relationships.

  • You may be queer, trans, nonbinary, questioning, or gender-diverse, and looking for gender-affirming therapy that understands the realities of living outside cisnormative expectations.

  • You may be in polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous (ENM), open, or BDSM and kink-informed relationships, and want a therapist who is sex-positive and knowledgeable about relationship diversity.

  • You may have felt judged, misunderstood, or subtly pathologized in past therapy spaces—especially around your gender, sexuality, relationship structure, or desires.

  • You might be navigating jealousy, insecurity, compersion, communication challenges, or scheduling logistics that come up in non-monogamous or poly relationships.

  • You may be feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or unsure how to balance multiple relationships, dating, boundaries, and your own emotional needs—especially if you’re newer to ethnically non-monogamous (ENM) or kink communities.

You may have adapted by…

  • editing or censoring yourself to avoid bias, misunderstanding, or microaggressions

  • separating parts of your identity, relationships, or desires to feel safer or more acceptable

  • questioning whether your needs, boundaries, or desires are “too much” or wrong

  • feeling overwhelmed by relationship dynamics, communication expectations, scheduling, or emotional labor

  • struggling with jealousy, comparison, or fear of abandonment without support to unpack it

  • avoiding dating, intimacy, or exploration altogether due to burnout, shame, or past harm

    These strategies often helped you protect yourself in environments that weren’t affirming. Over time, they can also lead to disconnection—from yourself, your desires, and the kinds of relationships you want to build.

What Therapy Can Offer

I offer affirming, sex-positive, and non-judgmental therapy for LGBTQIA+ clients, as well as for heterosexual and cisgender adults in polyamorous, non-monogamous, kink-informed, or otherwise non-traditional relationships.

You don’t need to justify your identity, relationships, or desires here. Therapy can be a space to explore challenges that arise within these lives, build self-trust, and deepen connection, without shame or agenda.

Together, we can explore boundaries, consent, care, and the fears or questions that come up when living as a queer, trans, or gender-expansive person, and/or when navigating ethical non-monogamy, kink, or BDSM in ways that feel authentic and grounded.

Gender Affirming Care

I offer gender affirming therapy and letters of support for transgender, nonbinary, and gender expansive folks. To learn more click here.

FAQs

  • Therapy is different for everyone. Some people come in for a few months to work through something specific, while others stay longer for more profound healing and ongoing support. Together, we’ll check in about your goals and pace as we go. You never have to commit to a certain number of sessions up front. This is your journey, and we’ll move at the rhythm that feels right for you.

  • Sessions are 55 minutes long and via telehealth (secure video or phone). Sessions are spacious and collaborative. I’ll invite you to share what’s been coming up for you—emotionally, mentally, and physically—and we’ll follow what feels alive in the moment. Sometimes that looks like talking through life patterns or recent challenges; other times it might include mindfulness, visualization, or gentle somatic awareness. My role is to help you deepen your relationship with yourself and your body’s wisdom.

  • I currently only offer secure virtual sessions to clients located in California via video or phone. This allows you to connect from home, your studio, or wherever you feel most comfortable.

  • You can schedule a free 15-minute consultation directly through my website. This is a chance for us to connect, see if we’re a good fit, and answer any initial questions you might have. There’s no pressure to commit; it’s just a space to get a sense of what working together could feel like.

  • My current session rate is $250.

  • I’m an out-of-network provider, which means clients pay directly and can request reimbursement from their insurance if they have out-of-network benefits.

  • I have both weekly and bi-weekly spots available. Feel free to ask about this during your consultation.

  • I Have A No Cancellation Policy

    Once an appointment is scheduled, it is final and non-cancellable, with no refunds or rescheduling for missed sessions.

    However, I offer one "freebie" per year for unannounced cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances. Beyond that, any breaks or time off must be discussed and agreed upon in advance.

    Please note, there may also be times when I will take time off for holidays or personal reasons, and I will always give notice when this occurs. Thank you for your understanding and commitment to your mental health journey.description

  • As an artist and therapist, I see creativity as a powerful tool for healing and transformation. We might use creative visualization, journaling, storytelling, ritual, or symbolic imagery to help you express what words can’t. You don’t need to consider yourself an artist; you just need to be open to imagination as a form of wisdom.

  • Yes — if that’s something that resonates with you. Many of my clients come from diverse spiritual paths, including earth-based, ancestral, witchy, or mystical traditions. Together, we can weave in ritual, energy work, or intuitive practices when they feel supportive.

  • You are absolutely welcome here. My approach is never about pushing any belief system. Whether you’re atheist, agnostic, or simply not interested in spirituality, therapy with me can remain entirely grounded and practical. The core of our work is curiosity, self-understanding, and growth — not dogma. You get to decide how we shape the space.

  • I bring together psychology, art, and spirituality to support the whole self — body, mind, and soul. My background as a licensed psychotherapist, artist, and witch allows me to bridge evidence-based therapy with ritual, imagination, and embodied wisdom. This isn’t one-size-fits-all therapy; it’s a space for profound transformation that honors who you truly are.

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

    Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

    • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

    • Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

    • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

    • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit WWW.CMS.GOV/NOSURPRISES or call 800-985-3059.
