BDSM & Kink

BDSM (Bondage & Discipline, Domination & submission, Sadism & Masochism) and other kinks may be something you are curious about; something you enjoy from time to time; or something that is an important part of your identity, relationships, and social life. Whether you’ve been reading some erotica that sparked a new curiosity or you’ve been in the kink scene for years, if you’re seeking therapy you likely want to work with a therapist who is kink-knowledgeable and will not judge you for these interests.


The field of psychology has thankfully (and rightfully) moved away from classifying BDSM and other fetishes as disorders - and there is now research showing that BDSM and kink can have positive benefits for individuals and relationships. But it is still not something every therapist is familiar with or informed about, so it is important to seek out a professional who understands that consensual BDSM and kink can be enjoyable, empowering, and can strengthen relationships.


Maybe you have a fetish that you’ve never shared with your partner, and you are seeking support figuring out how to have that conversation. Maybe you are exploring new sexual interests, but noticing some internal conflict because society has told you that you shouldn’t enjoy or take pleasure in these things. Or maybe you’re coming to therapy for something not at all related to BDSM or kink, but you don’t want to have to hide from your therapist the fact that you’re in a D/s relationship.


I am passionate about providing a non-judgmental therapeutic space for clients to be open about the role that BDSM and kink play in their lives (no pun intended!). I love helping people become more confident in their identities, and figure out how the strengths and communication skills they use in BDSM and kink can be applied to other parts of their lives to better cope with challenges and improve their well-being.
