Sex, identity, and relationships are often integral parts of our lives.
My therapy style is psychodynamic, meaning that I will help you explore how unconscious beliefs and past relationships influence your functioning in the present. I also use CBT and mindfulness interventions for practical and structured steps towards change.

As a psychotherapist specializing in sex, intimacy, & trauma, I guide people through tailored methods to reclaim emotional and relational vitality.
Are intimacy challenges holding you back from the deep connections you deserve? Whether it's in your relationship with yourself, your partner, or your family, emotional wounds can quietly erode intimacy, leaving you feeling disconnected or unfulfilled. These challenges are often normalized, but healing is possible!

We explore what you learned about your body, relationships, and sexuality, how you experience your body now, and how you respond to intimacy.
There was a time when desire felt more natural, and your body felt like your own. Now, that connection feels unfamiliar, shaped by experiences you didn’t choose or anticipate. Illness may have reshaped how you live, move, and feel in your body, affecting how you experience yourself and connect with your partner(s). Over time, intimacy may feel more complicated, and the distance between you and your partner can carry a quiet heaviness. Considering couples or individual therapy, especially for more vulnerable parts of your life, can feel daunting. The fact that you’re here suggests part of you is hoping for something different.

My counseling helps individuals and couples address communication, conflict resolution, sex/intimacy, parenting (if applicable), and finances by exploring shared values.
Many of us struggle with internal voices and leftover doubts from past experiences. My counseling approach is to empower clients to live their best lives. The foundation of our work is connection. Together we explore ways to process emotions, realizing that while feelings may teach us something, they are not always facts. We will build an understanding of patterns that may impact how you talk to yourself, engage in relationships, approach your career, explore growth, and much more.

I have experience with a variety of clients, including working with people who have been through trauma, are exploring their sexuality and/or gender identity, working through relationship challenges, navigating changes in their bodies or desire, or reshaping their relationship with their body and how they experience pleasure.
I believe that my role as a therapist is to create a space where you feel supported, safe, and validated as we navigate challenges together. I think that everyone can benefit from therapy– whether it’s short-term to help you through a life transition or longer-term support, I will be here to affirm and accept you as you are. In therapy, we can explore the different ways your past experiences may impact your life, how cultural narratives have been absorbed, find agency to deconstruct the scripts you no longer want to follow, ways to grow and develop new skills, and effective ways to communicate and deepen your relationships.

My training has led me to practice in an integrative manner, drawing from a cognitive-behavioral framework to generate change based upon a deeper understanding using psychodynamic concepts and interpersonal techniques.
