When intimacy feels confusing, pressured, or no longer works the way it used to, it can quietly affect your confidence, your relationship, and how you feel about yourself. Erectile dysfunction, low desire, desire discrepancies, infertility-related stress, painful sex, or ongoing sexual concerns can create distance, frustration, and uncertainty. Therapy offers a space to understand what’s happening and begin rebuilding connection in a way that feels natural, grounded, and meaningful.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Sex Therapist, and Doctor of Clinical Sexology, I help individuals and couples navigate intimacy concerns, desire differences, sexual challenges, fertility-related stress, and shame. I provide an affirming, inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ clients and diverse relationships.
My work goes beyond addressing sexual symptoms alone. Together, we will explore the relational patterns, attachment experiences, and emotional dynamics that shape desire, intimacy, and connection. Therapy provides a supportive space for healing, growth, and lasting change. I invite you to reach out when you're ready.
