Become A Client

I offer non-carceral, community-centered therapy for sex workers, Black femmes and others seeking care outside of traditional clinical systems. I use EMDR, somatic experiencing and relational accountability to support gentle, and direct, engagement of the nervous system. Book a therapy session if you’re ready to do the work in a space that feels human, not systemic and pathologized.

Smut Book Club

Every month on Patreon, we read a community-chosen erotica book and gather on Zoom to laugh, gasp and rate the filth together. Membership also includes author perks, bonus chapters, Q&A’s, giveaways and exclusive posts created by yours truly. Join Savage Book Club if you’re a proud slut or closet freak who wants to read smut with people who get it.

What Clients are Saying…

"The Equitable Care Certification training was by far the most important training that I've done (and trust me I've done a lot!). Facilitators and participants showed up every week raw, real, curious, and compassionate. It is hard to come by trainings that feels like they fully align with my radical politics, and if anything this training even further radicalized me. It's also hard to come by trainings that foster genuine community, but the way in which connections between participants grew from week to week was so palpable. This training has inspired me and given me skills that I'll be sharing with all of my clients, sex workers and non-sex workers alike."

Natasha Camille, Equitable Care Certification Student

"I attended therapy and my experience was amazing. It’s like, we’re talking about real ass shit and I can talk like this?! I can be myself… and that’s amazing."
