You shouldn’t have to worry about bringing kink out of the metaphorical dungeon in your therapy. Regardless of if you’re someone who occasionally experiments in the bedroom or if you’re engaged in a long-term power dynamic, you deserve a therapist who is familiar with the world of kink and can hold space for those parts of you and your life.

What can you count on by having a kink-friendly therapist?

First, you’ll find a judgement-free space to find internal acceptance in your kink and fetish interests through exploration and processing. A kink-aware therapist will support you on that journey and help you find that acceptance.

You’ll also find assistance in how to have conversations with partners about your kink interests and how to navigate BDSM in your relationships in a healthy way. A kink-aware therapist knows the difference between consensual BDSM activities and abuse or other forms of interpersonal trauma that may show up in your life and your relationships.

As a therapist, I’m familiar with the kink community and the unique challenges that can show up in an individual’s life and relationships. You won’t have to fear being judged or pathologized for your kinky interests in our sessions. Just as importantly, you won’t have to worry about kink holding more focus than necessary if it is not the issue that brings you to therapy. With me, you’ll find a safe space to share with a therapist who understands kink and its role in your therapeutic journey.
