Kink-Affirming Individual and Relationship Therapy
In person therapy in San Francisco & online across California
While kink, BDSM, and other alternative sexual practices can be immensely liberating and transformative, they may still be pathologized by mainstream psychology. Drawing upon personal and professional experience with kink, I offer a kink-affirming, sex-positive therapy for individuals and couples seeking a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their desires and sexuality without shame.
Kink-affirming therapy may be helpful if you are seeking to:
Explore or embrace your kinky or alternative sexualities
Communicate your desires and boundaries with partners, whether in monogamous or polyamorous relationships
Navigate anxiety, shame, guilt, or stigma related to kink
Balance kink dynamics with everyday life and integrating kink into long-term relationships
Explore power dynamics in relationships
Negotiate consent and safety in BDSM practices
My approach is liberation-oriented, centering the impact of power and systemic oppression on your lived experience and in your relational dynamics, and culturally responsive, particularly for Asian and Asian-American experiences.
I offer individual and relationship therapy in-person in Downtown San Francisco or Pacific Heights, and online to clients in California, including Los Angeles.
I invite you to schedule a free consultation to explore how we might work together. If you are seeking relationship therapy, you’re welcome to add your partner(s) to the call. I look forward to connecting with you!
