Untethered Care
Affirming sex & relationship therapy for adults and partners in Oregon & Washington.
A space to explore sexuality, intimacy, relationships, and connection without having to explain, defend, or minimize who you are.
Maybe you’re ready for something to feel different.
Perhaps sex has become a source of pressure rather than pleasure. You and your partner(s) keep having the same argument. Pain has made intimacy feel complicated or frightening. You’re questioning what you want from sex or relationships. Or maybe nothing is necessarily wrong — you simply want to understand yourself more deeply.
Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to have it figured out before therapy begins.
Affirming care, without assumptions.
Therapy at Untethered Care makes room for the complexity of sexuality, identity, relationships, bodies, pleasure, pain, culture, and lived experience. Untethered Care is explicitly affirming of queer and trans identities, kink/BDSM practices, non-monogamy, neurodiversity, sex workers, and disability & chronic illness.

Licensed Psychologist & Certified Holistic Sex Therapist
Therapy with me is collaborative, curious, and deeply relational. I bring a sex-positive, trauma-informed, attachment-based, and feminist perspective to our work, with space for both deeper exploration and practical tools.
I specialize in working with people whose experiences of sexuality, relationships, bodies, or identities don’t always fit neatly within conventional expectations.
