Clinical Sexologist | Educator | Author | Speaker
Helping people understand how trauma, identity, and desire shape the human experience.
I’m a clinical sexologist and cultural educator exploring how power, pleasure, and psychology intertwine. My work moves between academic rigor and lived experience, bringing language to what bodies already know. I create frameworks, trainings, and conversations that make complex topics accessible, whether we’re talking trauma, kink, or cultural identity. My approach is equal parts science, story, and soul.
Mission:
Through research, education, and public engagement, I strive to normalize kink, expand how we understand pleasure, and prioritize the mental health needs of kink-identified people by including their wisdom in the development of healing spaces, interventions, and systems of care.

Author of Therapeutic BDSM: An Alternative Form of Healing and the Edge of Excellence: Therapeutic BDSM & Beyond, I write and speak on the psychology of kink, liberation, and identity integration.
The frameworks I teach were born from lived experience, personal healing, and a commitment to changing the systems that failed us. This is heartwork and hard work, and I’m here for both.
I am the mind and momentum behind the Ecosystem of Excellence, a living framework that connects education, research, and community at the intersections of kink, culture, and healing.
Most of my professional work lives within the Kink Professional Standards Alliance (KPSA): a growing ecosystem of education, certification, and community for kink-affirming professionals. Through KPSA, I develop frameworks, curricula, and collaborative spaces that integrate clinical ethics, cultural awareness, and embodied healing.
It’s where my research, teaching, and community building intersect into a place for those serious about doing this work well, with integrity and depth.
Whether you’re looking to book a talk, collaborate on research, or invite me into conversation, this is the place to start.
I read every inquiry personally, and my team helps route requests so they land where they belong.
