I come to this practice with a background in human sexuality education, as well as advanced training in clinical psychology. I attended Brown University before completing my undergraduate degree in Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, and went on to earn Master’s and Doctorate degrees from an APA-acredited program in clinical psychology. My post-doctoral fellowship was in forensic psychology, specializing in the treatment of men and women with significant sexual behavior problems who were registered sex offenders.
As Mistress Morgana, for over 20 years I've worked with thousands of people from around the world to better embody a positive, celebratory, ritual love of kink. I've created and taught workshops for Good Vibrations, Toys in Babeland, Society of Janus, and The Exiles, as well as national leather/SM conferences. I'm the co-writer and presenter of the instructional video Whipsmart: A Good Vibrations Guide to SM for Beginners, my writing has appeared in Politically Inspired, Sex for America, and Best Sex Writing, and I'm a frequent podcast guest. I've also consulted with leading design and technology firms on how kink can broaden and inspire innovation, as well as media makers on ensuring authentic and accurate BDSM representation in film and television.
My academic background and clinical training, combined with two decades of experience in professional BDSM, have provided me with an excellent set of skills and resources to support you in your journey into kink.
I enjoy working with individuals who are just coming out about their own interest in kink and looking to form healthy play relationships with others, as well as couples and multi-partner relationships looking to deepen their involvement in kink. I often work with "taboo" kink and specialize in issues concerning AB/DL, age play, domestic discipline, and cross-dressing/gender play enthusiasts, as well as issues concerning two-bottom or two-top households. I also work with people who are struggling with sexual shame, compulsive sexual behavior, impulse control problems, and survivors of sexual abuse and trauma. In such cases, I prefer to work as part of a care team that includes a licensed mental health and/or medical professional to ensure you're getting all the support you need.
My work is grounded in a social justice framework that acknowledges the role of institutional and systemic marginalization in our available resources, paths for healing, and sense of well-being. I'm an active member of my own LGBTQ+ community, and work with people of all sexual and gender orientations.
