I’m a neurodivergent, bisexual witch and relationship anarchist and I bring my experience and perspectives into my work. My expertise is in working with queer, neurodivergent, witchy, and polyamorous folks. I have been working with folks with those identities as well as with the chronic pain and illness community since I first started seeing clients.
I am currently in a Holistic Sex Therapist Training Program through ISEE, the Institute for Sexuality Education and Enlightenment where we learn and talk about all aspects of the queer and trans communities and how they might show up in sex therapy.
My intake paperwork allows for expansive identities and for clients to self-report versus having to choose from a drop down menu of genders or sexualities. I am trained on and provide gender affirmation letters for clients.
I am active member of the Queer Trans Advocate Network which is an affiliate group within the Washington State Association of Marriage and Family Therapy network. I have presented for the Evergreen Hearts Polyamory Lecture Series on the topics of Relationship Agreements and Boundaries, Self-Soothing, and the overlaps of being Pagan and Polyamorous. I utilize a lot of educational material and support creators in the sex work, kink, disability, and sex educator communities in my therapy work. I will have a booth at this year’s Tacoma Pride festival in my local community supporting the queer community through creating your own tarot cards as a means of crafting and honing your intuition.
