Psychotherapy for the leather/kink/BDSM community
I reserve a portion of my practice exclusively for working with members of the queer leather/kink/BDSM community. I offer individual psychotherapy as well as work with couples and polycules. I regard the many diverse forms of sexual expression, including fetishism, power exchange, Dom/sub dynamics, and kink of all kinds, to be natural variations in the fabric of human sexuality, and adhere to the conviction that BDSM practice can often be deeply cathartic, transformative, healing. Individual work may entail working through aspects of internalized stigma arising from either already existing or longed-for aspects sexual expression, as well as integrating leather and kink into your identity. Work with couples and polycules typically focuses on integrating non-monogamy and polyamory into already existing relationships, as well as navigating the challenges that can arise as members of a dynamic identify, explore, and define their roles and sexual preferences. Please note: I am not a coach, nor a kink educator. My treatment style is exclusively talk therapy, with no touch involved.
