As a counselor and sex therapist, I provide a compassionate, sex-positive environment for both mental and emotional wellness and sexual health. Sexuality and mental health are deeply connected, influencing overall well-being. My practice is inclusive of all identities, orientations, and relationship styles. Whether navigating anxiety, depression, sexual concerns, gender-affirming care, identity, kinks, or relationships—including polyamory—I’m here to support your journey toward self-understanding and fulfillment.

I offer a safe, supportive space for individuals and couples to navigate challenges, improve intimacy, and grow. Using evidence-based therapies like CBT, the PLISSIT model, and mindfulness, I tailor therapy to your needs—helping you break unhealthy patterns, build self-awareness, and develop lasting coping strategies.

Healing and self-discovery can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll create a supportive environment where you feel heard, empowered, and free to explore your experiences. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I’m here to help you build confidence, strengthen relationships, and achieve meaningful change.
