Are you feeling stuck when it comes to sex? Maybe you're starting to get sexually frustrated or you feel guilty for not meeting your partner's needs.
Whether it's low libido, trouble initiating or feeling "in your head" during sex, I can help. My approach incorporates education, communication practice and deeper healing using IFS (Internal Family Systems), a well-regarded type of "parts work." I love working with ENM, kink, LGBT+ and sex worker clients. Please note: I do not accept any insurance plans.

I have an MA in Psychology from The New School University and an MPH in Social Medical Sciences - Sexuality and Health from Columbia University.
We are rarely given any kind of formal relational education (and sex education is a whole other part of this story!) but rather a relational socialization. I believe that through self awareness and skill building we can all have the types of relationships we long for. I utilize Psychoeducation, CBT and Motivational Interviewing.
