Do you feel disconnected from your desire, your body, or your sense of self in relationships?
Whether you're navigating relationship dissatisfaction, shame around sex, compulsive behavior, intimacy struggles, or the aftermath of abuse and trauma, you deserve support that goes beneath the surface.
I specialize in sex therapy and relational healing for individuals and partners. My work centers on the places where sexuality, identity, and attachment intersect: including dating difficulties, low self-worth, people-pleasing patterns, and the ways early wounds show up in your closest relationships.
Using somatic and attachment-based interventions, I help you move out of shame and into a deeper, more embodied understanding of who you are and what you want. I am certified in EMDR, trained in EFT, and have completed Level 2 Gottman Method Training: approaches that create real, lasting change rather than surface-level coping.
This isn't just about fixing what's broken. It's about reconnecting with your authentic desires, rewriting the story you've been told about yourself, and building relationships, including your relationship with your own sexuality, that actually feel good.
If you're ready to stop performing and start living as yourself, reach out today.

Groups
Group Therapy for Gay and Bisexual Men-Online only
Gay, bisexual, and queer men face distinct challenges in connecting emotionally with other men. Struggling with societal expectations, it is easy to fall into isolation or unfulfilling relationships. Processing the “here and now” interpersonal dynamics in group therapy, men may find a safe space to redefine their own ways of relating, enabling them to form genuine connections in which they feel celebrated for who they are. This is why I created this online group for gay, bisexual, pansexual, and queer-identified men who want to grow in their connection to themselves and others.
