NEW May 2026! Has sex become a bit of a sore subject? Maybe you're starting to withdraw from your partner because you're sick of getting sexually rejected. Or you might feel guilty for not meeting your partner's sexual needs. It can be hard to resolve sexual differences like mismatched libidos, kink differences or non-monogamy differences because talking about it can unfortunately lead to arguments. But ignoring it can make it start to feel like the elephant in the room. Actually resolving it can feel like trying to thread the world's smallest needle.
I am here to help! I'm a therapist turned coach with 20 years of experience. Detecting psychological and relationship patterns is what I do best. I start by assessing the emotional dynamics that are happening and identifying any areas that could use improvement. Then we work together through coaching and supplemental resources to get you to your goals.
Check my Sex For Couples podcast for more on my approach and personality. Episode 87 features my former clients talking about what it's like to do coaching with me. And you can find some testimonials in the photo gallery here on Psych Today. I work with LGBTQ+, kinky, non-monogamous, sex worker and vanilla clients 18+
