No insurance - If you’re not having sex, or not talking about it, your relationship is signaling that something needs attention.
There’s less distance than you might think between sexual dysfunction, anxiety, doom-scrolling, dodging your partner’s texts, and avoiding hard conversations. Different symptoms—same nervous system. We look at patterns, habits, relationships, and the nervous system itself—building awareness, capacity, and a way of living that actually feels connected.

I enjoy working with motivated individuals who want to see change. I work with both individuals and couples/Poly/CNM who are navigating challenges in their lives or their relationships. Maybe you've found yourself feeling disconnected from your partner(s) or having the same fight over and over again. Or maybe you feel like something isn't working in your life but you just can't put your finger on it. I love helping clients explore where they're stuck and collaborate with them to find creative solutions.

More conversations about sex equals more sex.
Looking for a therapist who understands relationships don’t always fit into a neat, traditional box? You’re in the right place. Are you exploring or already practicing consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, or open relationships.

Waitlist for new clients
The reasons people don't seek therapy are complex. For many, therapy exists within the very systems that have harmed them, yet practices (& therapists) often ignore these truths when they ask individuals to “take charge” of and “own responsibility” for the distress and trauma in their lives without that broader understanding, or worse, from a place of privilege or toxic positivity. My ideal client is ready to engage deeply and authentically. My approach is empathetic and meets that authenticity with accountability, radical honesty, and a commitment to the work of healing.

I bring a lifetime of experience in human services, teaching and social work. I describe myself as an advanced generalist. I have identified as part of the LGBTQ+ community since the 1980's. I am single and have two daughters in their mid-thirties. My biological daughter is biracial. I am an ally in the BlackLivesMatter movement: as I see opportunity, I yield my voice to a sister or brother who knows better the challenges and what is needed now. My adopted daughter was in the Child Protective Services system from age 3-13.

Sex Therapy Therapists
Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
