Every tunnel has a light, allow me to be your guide.

“Make love when you can, it’s good for you”

—Kurt Vonnegut

My mission is to support you and your partner(s) to find and foster strength, wisdom, connection, and compassion.

Welcome!

I’m Sura, a San Francisco based therapist offering in person and virtual sessions to couples, polycules, and individuals.

How do you feel right now? All parts of you are welcome here. Starting therapy is no small task, and I want to acknowledge the step you took to begin down this path. As I see it, you are the experts on your relationships and lives. My role is to collaborate with you as you deepen into self and relationship exploration. I use my knowledge, background, and skillset to understand each couple and individual as they are, drawing particularly from my background as a sex, love, and intimacy coach and my identities as a Queer, culturally Jewish, sex-positive person. Sometimes it is helpful to have an outside perspective to help you see things in a new and reflective way. Though this process is not always easy, I believe in connecting to pleasure, humor, and joy, even in moments of darkness.

Individual Therapy

You are not alone.

Some topics I have experience and love to work with are:

  • General anxiety

  • Adult ADHD

  • Jewish culture

  • All kinds of sexuality (kink/BDSM/sex worker/LGBTQ+)

  • Intergenerational trauma

  • Psychedelic preparation & integration

Couples Therapy

Relationships can be tricky.

Whether you’ve been together for a long time or are just sowing the seeds of your relationship, having support and an outside perspective can help.

Special skills in working with

  • Navigating intimacy

  • Communication skill building

  • LGBTQ+ couples

  • Polyamory/ ENM (ethical non-monogamy) Polycules/ Non-traditional relationships

  • Kink & BDSM

  • Former/current sex-workers

  • Psychedelic preparation /integration

Group Therapy

Healing takes a village.

Sometimes the best way to process is by being witnessed by others. Group work can normalize certain issues, help alleviate old wounds, and provide corrective familial/friendship experiences.

Groups might include topics such as

  • Dream processing

  • Non-judgmental conversations about sex work

  • Non-traditional romantic relationships

  • Adult friendship
