About the Therapist
About the therapist:
 My work is rooted in anti-oppressive practice, which means actively working to understand how power, identity and systemic inequality shape the experiences people bring to therapy. My practice is sex-positive and kink-aware, whatever your identity, sexuality or relationship structure.
I work with a wide range of concerns: identity exploration, sexual anxiety, low or mismatched desire, vaginismus, unreliable erections, sexual shame, intimacy difficulties, & the impact of trauma on sexuality and relationships. I also work extensively with those navigating non-monogamous or ENM relationships, and with clients from kink and BDSM communities.
As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, I bring both specialist clinical training and lived understanding to this work. My approach is person-centred and pluralistic; warm, direct, and collaborative.
