Sex is a foundational part of the human experience, and for many, it's also a complicated one. Our connection to both gender and sexuality are shaped by many influences that can teach us negative narratives about certain bodies, identities, and relationship structures. You might be looking for someone who can help you explore your relationship to your gender or sexuality without sex-negative biases. You might be interested in addressing past sexual traumas or barriers to intimacy that show up in your current sexual relationships.
I use EMDR, body-based, psychodynamic, and experiential approaches to sex therapy. I specialize in working with pelvic pain, erectile dysfunction, chronic pain/disability that inhibits sexual intimacy, sexual shame, and trans-affirming care. I work in private practice and teach a Sexuality Across the Lifecycle course at University of Chicago.
As a trans therapist, I specialize in working with my community of queer and trans folks, and performing artists. I'm also a theatre artist and the last ten years of my research has focused on actors’ mental health. Through my research, I created and now facilitate a program which teaches actors skills for exiting emotion and character.

I work with folks who are struggling with emotional regulation due to anxiety, depression, or PTSD, and all types of distress related to gender and sexuality. I also support folks navigating chronic illness and pain, creating an empowered relationship with the medical system. We often start by building skills to regulate emotion and pain, and we then shift to processing root causes of distress.
