From Therapist to Dominatrix

A woman who refuses to be domesticated.

I did not go looking for this work. It found me while I was doing my own.

For five years I was a licensed mental health therapist. I worked in sexual health, perinatal mental health, trauma and couples therapy.

I left in 2024. Not because I stopped caring. The healing I wanted to do would not fit inside a fifty minute session.

In 2025 I found the Dominatrix in me. It happened during my own work with Sacred Theater Somatics, and I was not looking for her.

My work has changed since then. I use BDSM and Sacred Theater Somatics to move shame, old wounds and relational pain out of the body.

Expression becomes liberation.

Working with men this way feels like the work chose me.

Serving men is serving women. What you do here does not stay here. It goes home with you. Into how you lead, how you listen, how you love.

Background

What I Bring To The Room

Six of the trainings that shaped this work. There are more.

  • Trauma-Informed CBT
  • Gottman Couples L1 & L2
  • EMDR
  • Perinatal Mental Health
  • Sacred Theater Somatics
  • Dark Force Training

My training informs this work. It is not therapy. No clinical relationship is formed here, and it does not replace care from a licensed provider.

The Taboo Temple

What Taboo Means Here

A space of reverence for your taboo truths and desires.

  • Taboo is any desire you have convinced yourself you are not allowed to want.
  • Taboo is the fantasy you worry would make someone love you less.
  • Taboo is the desire that makes you wonder if something is wrong with you.
  • Taboo is whatever you hide because you are afraid it will change things.
  • Taboo is anything you want that does not fit the version of yourself you have sold to others.

Avoiding a desire does not remove it. It turns your aliveness into silence, confusion and distance from yourself.

Embracing taboo is not about acting on everything you feel. It is about naming what is true, and not abandoning yourself when you do.

Do that and you become someone you can trust.

Begin Your Initiation

A threshold into your desire, your shadow, your power.

I read every inquiry myself. Nothing leaves my hands. Tell me what brought you here and what you want to move. If it is a fit, we book a call from there.
