Exploring kink and fetish with curiosity

Many of my clients enjoy and/or self-identify with kink and fetish. Some are part of the kink and fetish community, exploring aspects such as power play, role play and age play, pain and/or pleasure, BDSM, voyeurism, furry fandom, pup play, pony play and a host of other activities. Others are curious or just beginning to explore kink and fetish and to find their own self-identification.

I am a kink-aware therapist with extensive knowledge and experience working with clients in the kink and fetish community. I can help you navigate both the enjoyable and sometimes complicated nature of being part of this community, while exploring how these aspects of your experience intersect with other challenges you may be facing.

What we can work on together

Clients bring many concerns to this work, including negotiating consent and contracts, wanting to explore kink when partners or spouses may not desire it, pressure and politics in the community (including cancel culture), shifting dynamics in play and relationships, bleed-through of dynamics from kink to other aspects of life, and intersections with monogamy or consensual non-monogamy.

I bring an eclectic array of approaches to our work including assertiveness training so that you have a voice and feel acknowledged, exploration of types of consent and your comfort level with them, boundary-setting and negotiation, and exploration of alternatives so that you might enjoy kink even if your partner does not. Throughout our work I will remain respectful of your self-identification, desires and choices, and offer creative, practical guidance you can take directly into your life and community.

A note on privacy

I am not a member of the kink communities in the geographic areas in which I work, so you won’t have to worry about meeting me at a munch or play party, or online on FetLife. Your world and our work remain entirely separate, so you can engage in therapy with full confidence and peace of mind.

Here when you’re ready

Your identity, desires, and community are your own. I welcome and celebrate everything you bring to our work together.

I will help you explore your concerns in a confidential, safe, affirming and anti-oppressive environment where we take into account all aspects of your life, including friendships, family, culture and spirituality.
