My worst fear? Being truly alone. At one time, I went through the motions of going to work and having friends and partners, but something felt missing. I have tried to be someone that others would like by stuffing the corners of my being inside myself until I am folded so small and palatable that there is almost nothing of me left. No one can see “me”. I have tried to get bigger and louder. I’ll finally demand to be heard, only to be told that I’m "too much” and face painful losses. I want authentic connection but not at the cost of my own expression.
My personal journey to connection led me to kink, where I was able to explore ways to be myself and try on new ways of relating with others. I created a chosen family and extended community where all of me feels welcome. As a queer, trans, AuDHD, and chronically ill person, I understand the importance of finding spaces where you don't have to explain, minimize, or hide parts of yourself to be accepted. Balance is possible, and there are people and places that you can thrive as your full self within.
Authentic connection is at the heart of what makes us human and I help people find it. By practicing how to show up as your full self, you can forge deeper relationships of all types. I help clients to explore what makes them “them.” I especially enjoy supporting clients in exploring their gender and sexuality, nontraditional relationship structures (including CNM and polyamory), kink/BDSM dynamics, and general sexual wellness through sex therapy. By exploring your relationship with yourself and others, you’ll create a world full of connection, love, and confidence.
