You want more authenticity, more intimacy, more permission to be who you actually are—without shame or apology. But old wounds, internal conflict, or fear of rejection keep getting in the way. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and AASECT certified Sex Therapist, I work with adults and couples exploring Ethical Non-Monogamy, Poly, Kink, BDSM, and Power-Exchange Dynamics. I also support folks healing from sexual shame and relational disconnection. Our work will be collaborative and nonjudgmental, grounded in lived experience, and centered around your values. You’ll get affirming, sex-positive care rooted in real-life insight.
I also offer Gottman Couple's Therapy with practical strategies for improving connection, communication, conflict resolution, and trust repair. I work with a wide variety of sexual concerns including mismatched desire, medical or age related sexual changes, sexual traumas, sex-negative messages, and improving sexual communication and sexual connections.
If you’ve been burned by therapy before, or felt like you had to censor your truth just to be understood, you’re not alone. It takes courage to reach out, especially when your identity or relationships don’t fit the mold. I welcome the complexity you bring. You don’t have to hold it all alone. You're safe here! Let’s get curious and create something new.

With couples, I use Gottman Couple's Therapy. We begin with a session with both partners to explore what brought the couple to therapy. Then, I meet with each partner individually to best understand each person's needs and desires for the relationship. Then we will meet as a couple once more to establish goals for the couple's work and then we would proceed with therapy aimed to meet those goals.
