Kink-inclusive therapy for alternative lifestyles

Kink isn’t something that needs to be fixed. It is a dimension of oneself that can be deeply wise.

For many people, kink is more than just play—it’s a path toward healing, self-acceptance, and connection. It can be a way to reclaim agency, explore trust, and rewrite old stories. But too often, people exploring kink are met with judgment, shame, or misunderstanding — even in therapy.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to leave parts of yourself at the door when talking to a therapist, you’re not alone. I work with individuals and couples who want a space where their full erotic, emotional, and relational selves are welcome.

The transformational potential of kink

I believe that kink can be a profoundly positive and transformational practice—one that helps people move through trauma, deepen intimacy, and reclaim their bodies and desires. Many of my clients come to therapy carrying wounds from earlier experiences: neglect, abuse, religious shame, or simply years of not being seen or accepted. Kink, when practiced intentionally with care and consent, can offer a way to renegotiate power, reconnect with sensation, and experience vulnerability within a controlled container.

Kink doesn’t have to be separate from healing—it can be healing

Our erotic selves do not need to be a cordoned off section of our lives - hidden beneath shame and fear. Often the very things we were shamed for are the places where our deepest healing lives. Kink can offer experiences of containment, trust, surrender, and choice—things that trauma often takes away. In therapy, we can work together to understand what your body and nervous system are asking for through your desires, and how to meet those needs in ways that feel empowering, embodied, and safe.

Conscious kink allows people to transmute pain into pleasure - which can then be integrated into one’s life.
