"We all want an identity that makes life worth living. The good news is, you get to decide what pleases you and makes you feel the most secure. You get to decide which identity you are going to be or not be. It is up to you to travel bravely through the nature of your own desire to a place where you can take it or leave it."

-Kate Bornstein (quote from her book 'Hello, Cruel World')

Biography

I use my background in cultural studies and sex education to look at how challenging social pressures affect your life and relationships. This perspective helps us understand that many difficulties in life and love stem from external stress, not personal failure. My main goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where individuals, partners, and groups can learn practical ways to feel calmer, handle conflicts better, and communicate clearly. I have extensive experience with many sexual topics, and I specialize in supporting people who are kinky (BDSM), in open or polyamorous relationships, and those who identify as asexual.
