High-stakes issues around sexuality deserve care, not shame.
Hi, I’m Celynd. I work with adults and couples facing sex addiction, sexual trauma, and relational distress in a non-pathologizing, identity-affirming way.
How I Work
My work centers on high-stakes experiences around sexuality, identity, and relationships—especially when shame, secrecy, trauma, or high-control systems have made it hard to feel safe, honest, or connected.
I offer therapy for adults and couples across several areas of focus, with an approach that is trauma-informed, identity-affirming, and grounded in accountability without moral judgment.
Clients come to me for many reasons. Some are seeking support for sex addiction or compulsive sexual behaviors. Others are navigating the impact of sexual trauma, religious harm, or relationship rupture. Many are queer, trans, or non-monogamous and want therapy that understands their lived experience without reducing it to a diagnosis.
You don’t need to know exactly how to name what you’re dealing with to start therapy here.

Fees are due at time of service. Most insurance plans will reimburse you a portion of their “allowable rate.” I work with a service, Mentaya, that helps clients access their out-of-network benefits. You can check what coverage you have for out-of-network benefits in the HIPAA-compliant widget on this page.
