Did your guidebook to "Navigating Anxiety, Relationships, and Sex" get lost in the mail? Let's make one for you. Figuring out how to cope through anxiety or learning the unwritten rules of relationships and sex can be tiring, confusing, and sometimes just downright defeating. If you’re here because you want to get real tools to support you in working through these things, then you’re in the right place. Whether you want to discuss anxiety, trauma, painful sex, kinky sex, polyamory, or something else - this is a space where we can discuss it all - judgement free.
I am an anxiety, boundaries, and sex therapy specialist. Let's take a look at your needs, and the ways in which they are or aren't being fulfilled. Our sessions will give you knowledge, skills, and perspectives to apply in your real life. I also offer an 8-week women’s group for those experiencing emotional or physical shutdown during intimacy.
At the end of the day, none of this stuff is easy. Searching for a therapist can be overwhelming, and reaching out can feel strange. But, I got you. You got you. Let’s do this. If you’d like to connect through a no-charge consult, I’d love to talk about how we can work together in a way that feels right for you.

While experienced in many areas across the board, I'm most passionate in working with anxiety, boundaries, sex therapy (1:1), and trauma. It's okay if you don't really know what you want of our time. We can figure that out together. We'll use our time to name goals as they come up, and create a judgement-free zone that allows for discovery and reconnection with the self, and your specific needs.

I am trained in various types of therapy, but what we use in your sessions will be custom to your needs. For example, when working with intimacy and relationships, I often lean on attachment and emotion focussed therapy in combination with narrative therapy (NT). Trauma work will often include CPT, EMDR, and parts of DBT. Caring for anxiety will often include a mix of DBT, CBT, and NT. Let's talk!
