Location of self

I am Latine, the child of an immigrant, able-bodied, neurodivergent, bi/pan, polyamorous, kinky, Femme Daddy Dom in my late 30’s. Masculine of center, femme presenting. I’m sarcastic, irreverent, energetic, and honest. I have the mouth of a sailor and will make many sex jokes in session. Please show me pictures of your pups (2 legged and 4 legged). Thanks.

I’m a licensed professional counselor in Columbia, South Carolina, specializing in working with LGBTQ+, Poly, and kinky folks looking for a safe and informed space.

I graduated with my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling in 2013. I found myself specializing in trauma, spending several years as a therapist in a domestic violence center, and then in substance abuse treatment.

When I arrived in Columbia, I took on a support group for LGBTQIA+ teens. With that came the realization of how few therapists we have that are providing informed, effective therapy when working with Queer, Kinky, or ethically non-monogamous folks. So- I started a private practice exclusively for my fellow Queerdos. As a member of the LGBT+, kinky, and poly communities myself, you’ll never have to educate or defend your identity with me.
