LGBTQ+ & Sex-Positive Affirming Therapy

A space Where Your Identity, Desire, and Story Matter

Many of my clients come to therapy because they’re tired of censoring parts of themselves. In our work together, there is room to talk honestly about queer identity, sexuality, kink or BDSM, and experiences connected to sex work or adult content. This is a space where those topics are approached with curiosity, clarity, and respect rather than judgment or assumptions.

Who I Work With

Clients come here when they want support around:

Finding and owning your identity

From first visions of “maybe I’m queer” to deep explorations of your gender and orientation, we work together to affirm and articulate who you are. Being LGBTQ+ is not just a checkbox — it’s an experience that shapes how you show up in the world.  

Sex-positive exploration

Whether you want to better understand your sexual desires, deepen intimacy with partners, navigate non-monogamy, or talk about sex without shame, we approach your sexuality with curiosity and respect.

Kink and BDSM experiences

Consent, power, communication, and nervous-system regulation matter no matter how you play. We explore how your preferences fit into your life and relationships, not whether they’re “normal” or not.  

Sex work and adult content realities

Others might stigmatize your work; we don’t. Here, we focus on your wellbeing, boundaries, stress management, relationship patterns, and how to integrate your work into your sense of self without shame.

What “Sex-Positive” & “Affirming” Really Feels Like

Sex-positive, affirming therapy isn’t about buying into others expectation. It’s about:

Speaking your truth

We use language that fits you, not what others expect you to say about your identity, sexuality, or lifestyle. 

Ending internalized shame

Shame is not a personality trait. It’s a learned story — and we can begin to rewrite it.

Understanding desire

Not as a checklist of behaviors, but as a window into your emotional world, connection patterns, and values.

Respecting consent and communication

These aren’t just tools for kink; they’re life skills. They help you navigate relationships, intimacy, and boundaries more confidently.

My Approach 

Therapy with me feels collaborative and grounded. You lead. I guide.

We might explore things like:

  • How your queer identity intersects with culture, family, and community

  • Shame loops around desire, body image, or sexual expression

  • How to communicate wants and boundaries in relationships and scenes

  • Emotional regulation and attachment patterns

  • Navigating “coming out” again, or for the first time

  • Managing stress, anxiety, or past hurts tied to sexuality

  • Balancing kink/BDSM roles with everyday life

Therapy isn’t about fixing you — it’s about understanding yourself more deeply and living more fully.
