On Radical Queer Freudianism and Adult Baby Diaper Love (ABDL) in Eroticism, Behavior, and Identity: Affirming Therapeutic Approaches

i accept Aetna insurance and work with all out of network benefits

Working with Ethan has been a refreshing and positive experience for me! From the get go; Ethan has met me as an equal with a space and presence that was both deeply human and professional, he brings a level of care and connection that feels like talking to someone who truly gets me—not just who I am now, but who I’ve been and who I’m becoming.

What makes working with Ethan so special is how natural it feels. There’s no pressure to perform or pretend when I'm speaking with him! He's is grounded, affirming, real and I genuinely feel like I can trust Ethan! It's encouraging to have someone actually listen and want to help! If you've ever worried about therapy or coaching feeling cold, clinical, or full of outdated stereotypes, put those fears to rest.

Ethan creates a space where transparency and authenticity thrives and even in just presence alone, it's clear he's here and actively wants to help! Even though we "are getting work done and making progress" it feels like I'm just speaking with a good friend! Heck I even found a Daddy of my own shortly after speaking with him and I never would have even tried asking my person without Ethan's guidance and encouragement!

This journey with Ethan has been nothing short of positively transformative and I’m so grateful to be on this path with him! I am genuinely excited, eager, and more hopeful than I have ever been for what my future may hold!"

do it now. you're the only one who can.

don't wait until tomorrow, or next week, or next year, or until you have the funds, or the credentials, or the right ...

sex, relationships, & mental health

as a sexologist specializing in work with daddy/boy couples and ABDL communities, my work is grounded in a commitment to mental health supports for individuals and couples who are navigating the journey to realization of the core erotic part of self that involves relations with others.

my sexology practice emphasizes creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their identities, relational needs, and erotic desires.

this approach is deeply rooted in principles of shared lived experience, empathy, respect, and confidentiality, ensuring that every client feels valued and understood. by addressing the psychological and emotional dimensions of erotic orientation, identity, and relationships, i help clients integrate these aspects into their lives in healthy and fulfilling ways.

in my work, a primary goal is to support and celebrate all of what makes you uniquely you, so that, together, we can forge ahead in this incredible journey in supporting you as you realize your wildest erotic fantasies with the goals of self-actualization in everyday life.

my approach with individuals is tailored to each client's needs, ultimately fostering self-realization, positive self-regard, and love. through our sessions, i assist clients in understanding and accepting erotic identities, and apply contemporary evidence-based practices to support you as you confront shame or stigma and build courage, confidence, and self-awareness.

with couples, the goal is to ensure that both parties experience mutual respect, care, and trust, while they balance any needs for erotic power exchange and caregiving dynamics.
