Struggling with sex or intimacy?
As a PhD student in Clinical Sexology, I help people improve their sex lives, feel safe in intimacy, and understand their desires.

I offer individual and relationship therapy that is neurodivergent-, trauma-, and sex-positive.
I help clients explore trauma, emotions, identity, and self-worth through a client-led, relational lens. Using various approaches along with trauma-informed care, we’ll work together to build emotional safety, deepen self-trust, and reconnect with the parts of you that need care, attention, and space to be fully seen and heard.

I am drawn to themes of: shame, sexuality, neurodiversities, grief, and impediments to connection; both to oneself and others.
I have training and experience with: ACT, Sex Therapy, EFT, Narrative Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing. I draw from a few of these approaches in the beginning stages of our work until we arrive at the modality that feels like the best fit for us. I am not someone who practices with a lot of rigid structure and any homework I assign will be experiential.

Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.
Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.
What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.
What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
