Whether you are craving more congruence in your sexual or relationship presentation, curious about kink, non-monogamy, and/or recovering from sexual trauma, I want you to know YOU are enough.

I not only have a professional understanding of what you might be going through and/or wanting to explore. My personal history and past experiences help me more deeply understand and support my clients. Growing up, I knew I was queer before I had the label to self-identify. At 19, I was held captive, beaten and repeatedly raped for 5 days by a man I knew. I didn’t fully recover from this trauma for over a decade. During that time, I suffered with PTSD, and made poor relationship choices. I only shared my suffering with my therapists, coaches, and a few close friends for much of that time. I’ve been married 3 times. My first marriage was sexless. My second marriage gave me my son whom I adore (but was also pretty much sexless). My third husband and I allow each other to live as fully congruent and wholly satisfied consensually non-monogamous people. I identify as a queer polyamorous leatherwoman and I am married to a bisexual polyamorous leatherman. I am in a full-time authority transfer based relationship with my husband.

I know what it feels like not to fit in. I also know the pain of NOT living in the fullest expression of who I am sexually.

I’m on a mission to change conversations about sex and sexuality while making it safe, comfortable, and acceptable to fully express yourself and your desires. I want people understand that there are choices and to learn to choose what resonates with them. Whether you resonate with an alternative lifestyle or a traditional one, you have every right to enjoy an authentic intimate life. I’m honoured to facilitate your exploration, expressing, and experiencing congruent sexuality and relationships.
