Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. I am looking for a dominant woman interested in a long-term relationship that would be in person. Ideally, you are looking for a meaningful connection and a relationship with elements of a D/s dynamic.

I'm 5' 8" with a lean/athletic body type with brown hair (a bit salt and pepper), light brown eyes and a very short neatly trimmed beard.

A little about me - I enjoy hiking on trails and appreciate nature in general. I'm happiest in the fresh air with friends next to a bonfire. I like to go on mini vacations on the weekends and explore new places, try new restaurants, and check out the local scenery. Over the last 3 years I did a fair bit of traveling and I am hoping to go to Japan next year. That said, I equally enjoy cozy nights at home, binge watching shows and movies while curled up on the couch. I'm a bit of a nerd - I enjoy reading fiction and probably fall asleep every night with my Kindle. I also enjoy casually playing video games and board games with good company. Fitness is fairly important to me, and I exercise regularly (running, lifting, cycling, hiking and yoga).

For work I'm a clinical psychotherapist working in an outpatient setting. I absolutely love my job and I am passionate about mental health in general. I also do some teaching and some supervising on cases.

As a sub - Submission to me is about connection, safety, intimacy, sincerity and vulnerability. Through submission and kink, I feel empowered to be vulnerable with my partner which cultivates sincere connection. Submission provides a scaffolding where I am able to find safety and share beautifully intimate moments with someone I care for deeply. It enables me to show my love in a way that speaks to who I am at my heart, a person who finds peace/purpose through reverence and giving. It's also really sexy and fun!

What I intend to "bring to the table" - I am offering companionship, stability and someone who will really be there for you through the challenges of life. Someone that is caring and easy going, but fiercely passionate about the people and things I love. A submissive that has experience in kink and D/s relationships and knows about the importance of effective communications, limits and boundaries. I have my own life together and would love to find a partner to share it with.

If you think we would get along and my post resonates with you please reach out. Let me know a bit about you, where we align and please put some effort into your message. I would love to chat and get to know each other, then ideally go on a date in person. Please be willing to share a SFW picture early in our convo and live in the Tri state area (Lower CT, NYC/Westchester, Northern New Jersey area).

Hope to hear from you!
