Accepting sex therapy clients at this time. If you're unsure whether sex therapy applies to your situation, please reach out— you may be surprised by how broadly it applies. I work with individuals navigating a wide range of concerns: difficulty with desire, arousal, or orgasm; sexual shame or avoidance rooted in past experiences; gender and sexual identity exploration; intimacy challenges connected to trauma, anxiety, or relationship patterns and the ways that family of origin, culture, and early experiences shape how we show up in our bodies and relationships today.
My approach is trauma-informed, body-aware, and affirming of all identities, orientations, and relationship structures. I believe that erotic and relational wellbeing are inseparable from overall health and that everyone deserves a space to explore both with honesty, curiosity, and without judgment.
While this journey is yours alone, please remember that in the therapeutic space, you are not alone. I work with individuals ages 18 and older and welcome clients from all ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
