GENDER & RELATIONSHIP DIVERSITY

"'Queer' not as being about who you’re having sex with (that can be a dimension of it) but ‘queer’ as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.” - bell hooks

 

If you are queer, kinky, non-monogamous or gender nonconforming, life presents special challenges as well as opportunities. 

 

I have training and experience working with queer, kinky, nonmonogamous people both in psychotherapy and sex therapy. My practice focus is in working with issues of kink identity (including power exchange relationships) and all forms of non-monogamy.

 

Issues include: initial identity exploration and development; finding and getting involved in a community; discussion and negotiation with spouse, partners; overcoming barriers to joy and satisfaction, navigating life with a marginalized identity; how to get specialized health care needs met.
