Sex, identity, and relationships are often integral parts of our lives. However, shame, miscommunication, and other life stress might prevent us from having the connections we want. Although these frustrations may seem insurmountable at times, change is possible. Looking for a therapist is a positive first step. Whether you are looking to gain personal insight, develop coping strategies, or improve your relationships and sexual functioning, we can work together to achieve your goals. I work with individuals and couples. I am licensed in VA, DC, and MD and certified as a sex therapist by AASECT.
My therapy style is psychodynamic, meaning that I will help you explore how unconscious beliefs and past relationships influence your functioning in the present. I also use CBT and mindfulness interventions for practical and structured steps towards change.
I specialize in sex therapy and working with the LGBTQIA+ population. I will work with you to address concerns related to sexual and gender identities, coming out, ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, dating, infidelity, desire discrepancies, and performance anxiety. I also treat underlying factors including depression, anxiety, and adjustment.

I use psychodynamic, relational, and cognitive behavioral therapy. This means we might explore your unconscious beliefs and past relationships to understand how they contribute to your current concerns. We may also examine the present, including "in the room" dynamics between us, self-defeating thoughts and behaviors, and strategies that can help you move forward.
