Virtual Support From a Therapist That’s
Alt Lifestyle Informed
You’ve probably had to explain your identity or relationship structure one too many times. Maybe you’ve even been shamed, pathologized, or treated like your lifestyle was “the issue” in therapy. Here, you won’t be asked to censor yourself.
I offer affirming therapy for people in alternative lifestyles, including kink, polyamory and ethical non-monogamy (ENM), BDSM, and D/s dynamics. You deserve a space that respects your autonomy, values your identity, and supports your mental health without judgment or assumptions.
Quick note:
I’m not a sex therapist, so we won’t be doing sexual skills work in sessions. If that’s what you’re looking for, I suggest seeking out a therapist that is AASECT certified. But we can talk about how your relationships, dynamics, power exchange, identity, and emotional needs intersect with other mental health needs, and how to process whatever’s coming up around them.
You might be dealing with:
Navigating jealousy, boundaries, or communication in polycules or open relationships
Feeling invalidated, fetishized, or misunderstood in past therapy
Processing shame, fear, or vulnerability around kink or power exchange
Struggling to balance D/s dynamics with mental health symptoms or trauma histories
Unpacking internalized messages about control, worth, or autonomy
How I Help
I offer virtual, identity-affirming therapy that holds space for the complexity of your relationships, dynamics, and experiences, without pathologizing who you are or how you live.
In sessions, we might:
Explore communication, boundaries, and emotional regulation within your dynamic or relationship structure
Process feelings of shame, fear, or confusion around your identity or roles
Talk about trauma, anxiety, or depression without blaming your lifestyle
Clarify values and needs across multiple relationships or power-based dynamics
Build coping skills and safety plans that align with your needs, limits, and chosen roles
