As a queer, feminist, anti-racist, kink and poly-positive coach, I’m all about creating a safe space where everyone feels welcome. I keep things direct and engaging, and I’m not afraid to sprinkle in some humor to lighten up those tough conversations and move away from shame. We will definitely have fun along the way when we begin exploring the joyful world of self-acceptance and pleasure.

I live in St. Petersburg, FL, and when I’m not coaching or doing therapy I spend most of my free time on the beach soaking up the sunshine.
