In-person sessions available in beautiful downtown Austin, TX and tele-health sessions available to anyone in Texas.
One of the most important components of therapy is feeling safe to share without judgment. Working with a sex positive therapist is the key to unlocking your whole authentic self within the safe and confidential space of a session. At Dove + Wolf I pride myself on maintaining a flexible mindset and a compassionate curiosity about what my clients' lived experience is. Literally nothing is off limits!
Authentic Affirming Care
In my practice I support the sex life that you present to me and support what it means to you. Whether you're in the kink community, have certain fetishes, engage in the BDSM lifestyle, are swingers, enjoy role playing, or have fantasies or sexual desires you’ve never discussed. I welcome people of all genders, sexual orientation, and relationship identities.
What Can I Explore in Therapy?
I work with people and couples that want to explore their sexuality and the various concerns that can come with it, including:
Cultural expectations, fears and judgements
Alternative lifestyle anxiety/hopes/fears
Coming out safely
Kink and Fetishes
How to eradicate shame and internalized negativity
Ethical non-monogamy and polyamorous relational dynamics (individually and/or as a couple)
If you are in a relationship with one or more partners and want to introduce new ideas and activities, therapy can help with this. I can assist in exploring any concerns or fears you and/or your partner has regarding how to safely introduce and transition into a new sexual or relationship lifestyle. I can help you express yourself clearly and effectively so that your partner feels that they've had their questions answered and change can be as seamless as possible.
Kink Affirming Care
Kink affirming care is when a counselor provides therapy services that are inclusive for all kinds of sexual lifestyles, including kink, BDSM, and non-monogamy. Whether you are just beginning to explore, looking to expand, or learning to accept your preferences, it’s critical to work with a licensed mental health professional who is sex-positive and non-judgmental.
Introducing kink into the bedroom and relationship(s) can feel awkward at first. This is where a conversation with Dove + Wolf may be crucial. I can help you curate this conversation with a partner, provide appropriate education, and help you design a safety and boundary plan. For those who are experienced with kink, I can help you take your play to deeper levels, and iron out any bumps along the way.
