A have dedicated the past 15 years of my clinical practice and research on the role and impact that sexuality, sexual orientation, and gender have on quality of life. It is a paradox that this topic is an area that most people struggle to talk about due to carrying shame and guilt around attractions (to people or activities), expression, and behaviors, while also being one of the most basic of human drives and needs.
I have a passion for working with folks in the margins and my education and practice is tailored for exactly that - to help people with issues that fall under GSRD - Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Diversities. This is an umbrella term that includes anyone that is living outside the cis-normative world and is gender expansive, every human under the rainbow bridge, and every relationship that transcends compulsory monogamy.
In addition to my own lived experience in these arenas, to ensure I'm as competent as possible, I completed a PhD in clinical sexology, am dual certified by AASECT and IICS as a sex therapist (CST), and certified as a Queer and Trans Affirming Professional (QTAP).
