I am a therapist committed to helping clients heal from trauma, build self-worth, and foster more authentic connections. My work with individuals is grounded in a deep understanding of sexual, medical, and religious trauma, and I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to support trauma processing and nervous system healing. I also work extensively with individuals navigating body image, diet culture, and shame, through a Health at Every Size (HAES)-informed lens. I understand the healing power of feeling heard, understood, and validated, and do my best to bring warmth and authenticity into every session.

Are you struggling with trauma, depression, or anxiety? These conditions are treatable. With effective EMDR therapy, we can alleviate your pain and foster transformative growth. As your therapist, I’ll encourage you to step beyond your comfort zone and focus on true healing—what EMDR therapists call “adaptive resolution.” Together, we’ll design a structured treatment plan with a clear beginning, middle, and end to achieve meaningful and lasting change. My EMDR expertise has helped many clients, including those who once believed their issues were untreatable.

I take a holistic and eclectic approach to therapy. I want to know your sources of pain - but I also want to know what you value, what has shaped you, where you draw inspiration, your beliefs, and how you feel in your own body. We’ll peel back layers, we'll process distress, and we'll build practical tools to manage the challenges you're facing. Ultimately, we’ll build a more authentic, empowered sense of self. If something is no longer serving you, let’s figure out how to change it. My focus areas include sexuality, sex, anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, trauma, and life-transitions.

Something isn’t working the way you want it to. Maybe life looks fine on the outside—you’re functioning, showing up, doing what needs to be done. But inside, something feels off. Relationships don’t feel as connected as they could. You might feel stuck, distant, frustrated, or unsure of what you’re even longing for. Maybe you’ve done therapy before, learned the language, and can explain your patterns—but insight alone hasn’t shifted the weight. You’re not falling apart, but you know you’re not fully okay either.

Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and outwardly successful, yet feel stalled in relationships, work, or a sense of direction. You may keep repeating the same conflicts, choices, or emotional loops—often tied to shame, perfectionism, fear of rejection, or avoidance—despite effort and self-awareness. LGBTQ individuals and couples, and working professionals in Denver, often come in wanting more than coping: clarity, traction, and lasting change in intimacy, identity, and purpose. You might look fine on paper, but privately feel disconnected from desire, authenticity, or meaning—and tired of managing it alone.

Finding the right therapist is hard—harder than it ought to be. Especially when you’re already struggling. But it’s essential. The person of the therapist, their fit for you, and the therapeutic relationship are all more important to successful therapy than any degree, license, orientation, or even years of experience. Making the call and actually doing therapy is even harder—but worth it. Psychotherapy works. It can be one of the most significant and transformative experiences of your life. It's also a big investment of time, money and effort. I honor your courage and support your commitment to yourself to even consider it.

My intention is to create a powerful therapeutic relationship between myself and my clients. I know and have witnessed that struggling with sexuality issues can often lead to feelings of shame or embarrassment. I see our sexualities as one of the most diverse and unique parts of ourselves. I believe that difference does not equal disorder, and being "normal" is often not the goal. I am knowledgeable with nonmonogamy and kink communities and have experience in working with "non-traditional" relationship dynamics, sex workers, LGBTQIA2+ issues, individuals, couples & families relationship issues.

I help couples & individuals with intimacy, attachment & sex therapy. I work with people with low desire or different sex drives in relationship (wanting more or less sex). Another niche of mine is working to help people strengthen their open relationship (or start the process). I enjoy men's work on ED, vulnerability, & compulsive sexual behavior. Let's talk about what's happening right now that's troubling you. I have a lot of confidence we can collaborate on finding solutions that will get you back to a place of feeling connected to yourself & those around you.

Sexual Addiction Therapists
When should someone seek treatment for sex addiction?
People should seek treatment for sex addiction if they cannot control their sexual thoughts or behaviours to the point that it disrupts their ability to function in daily life, for example by threatening their finances, career, or relationships. This may include spending an excessive amount of time obsessing over sex, planning sex, watching pornography, or masturbating, as well as consistently engaging in risky sexual activities, using sex to escape distressing feelings, or attempting yet failing to control sexual behavior.
What are the most common treatment options for sex addiction?
Psychotherapy is the most common treatment for sex addiction; therapy helps patients better understand their compulsive thoughts and behaviors and develop strategies to manage their desires. Therapy may be supplemented by medications, such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-androgens, and the alcohol and substance use medication Naltrexone, as well as support groups, such as 12-step programs.
How long does therapy take for sex addiction?
Recovering from compulsive behavior takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but research suggests 12 therapy sessions may be enough to see change. Treatment for sexual compulsions requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers and developing coping skills, and potential lifestyle changes such as cutting out alcohol or drugs.
What if sex addiction is left untreated?
Compulsive sexual behavior can have serious repercussions if left unaddressed. For example, if sexual obsessions consume the vast majority of a person’s time, they may lose their job. If they can’t stop paying for sex, their finances may suffer. If they’re dishonest in their relationships, their partner may leave them. If they consistently feel shame, they may struggle with anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Therapy can help people develop the tools to manage sexual thoughts and behaviors that feel uncontrollable.
