You deserve a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. I provide an expert, pleasure-positive space to help you move from "surviving" to thriving in your skin and your bedroom. Many of my clients come to me feeling a disconnect—from their partners, their bodies, or their sense of joy. You might be struggling with communication loops that lead nowhere, untangling years of religious shame, or navigating the unique nuances of Poly/ENM and LGBTQ+ relationships. With nearly two decades of experience as a "sexpert", I am passionate about sexual wellbeing. Fees are $250/ $225 per session; NO Insurance).
As a PhD-level specialist with decades of experience, I don't just offer a listening ear; I offer a deep, evidence-based dive into the roots of what is keeping you stuck. My approach is a blend of clinical sophistication and authentic warmth. I believe therapy should be an empowering sanctuary where humor is welcome and your personal power is reclaimed
I strive to create an empowered, affirming space for clients to explore themselves and their relationships. Many of my clients feel disconnected from their bodies and overwhelmed by their thoughts, or are working through shame (often religious shame). Through mindfulness, self-discovery, self-care and pleasure positivity, let me help you get unstuck.
