Are you having relationship problems or sexual difficulties? I specialize in working with women and couples seeking sex therapy and couples counseling to improve intimacy and communication and to deal with desire discrepancy and conflict. I work with women's sexual health issues: vaginismus, sexual trauma, past abuse, pelvic pain, low desire. There is help, don't suffer! Call me. I offer a client-centered approach and trauma-informed care to help you as a unique individual or couple. I am honored to work with you. Together we can also address anxiety, grief and loss, depression, PTSD, and more!
I offer sex-positive, LGBTQ affirming, Kink and Polyam/CNM informed therapy. Sexuality is both a social justice and quality of life issue. Are you suffering from trying to "fit in a box" society or "others" dictate? Let's work on this so you can break free to be who you are! Your sexuality and joy do not have an expiration date! It's never too late to heal!
Therapy is a gift you give yourself! Do you want to live the wild, juicy, joyful life you were born to live? What's holding you back? Are you ready to be free? ...to grow into your full potential? I am a Certified Sex Therapist through IBOSP. Schedule your free 15-minute consult today here: www.therapyportal.com/p/authentic48202/

I will meet with you both for couples counseling at the first session. After the first session, I will have you each complete a Gottman relationship checkup assessment. Then I will meet with you each individually. Finally, we meet again and discuss the findings and set goals. Most couples begin to see improved communication and more positive interactions with their partner within 6 - 8 sessions.
