Kink-affirming therapy

Bring your whole self

If you’ve been looking for a kink-aware or kink-friendly therapist in Seattle, you’re in the right place.

People in the kink community often leave important parts of their lives out of therapy, because they expect judgment or don’t want to spend sessions teaching vocabulary. That makes therapy less useful. I’m familiar with the community, and I’m passionate about supporting the people in it.

Kink is not a symptom. You may want to talk about it directly, or it may simply be part of the background while we focus on something else. Both are fine.

What we might work on

• Shame, secrecy, and self-acceptance
• Exploring desires and identity
• Communication, consent, and negotiation
• Relationships and dynamics within kink
• Talking with partners about what you want
• Sexual health and wellbeing
• Anxiety, depression, or life changes, without hiding part of your life

How I work

I use a Person-Centered approach: unconditional positive regard, no agenda, and no assumptions about what your life should look like. What you share stays confidential, within the usual legal limits that I’ll explain in our first session.

Practical details

I’m based in Seattle and see clients by secure video anywhere in Washington State. Sessions are 55 minutes. I’m in-network with several insurance plans. See fees and insurance and how to get started.
