I am an AASECT-certified sex therapist who provides individual therapy and relationship counseling. I believe that everyone deserves a safe and non-judgmental space to talk about the things that matter to them. My approach is collaborative, person-centered, practical, research-based, and solution-focused. I am passionate about helping my clients forge an individualized path forward that works best for them. I work with, support, and affirm all gender and sexual identities and expressions.
Issues I commonly work with include healing from trauma, sexual anxiety, shame about sexual fantasies, stigmatized sexual identities, relationship communication, healing from trust violations, non-monogamy, gender expression and identity, out-of-control sexual behaviors (sex addiction), body image issues, self-esteem, and coping with uncomfortable emotions.
The hardest part of initiating major life change is often the act of reaching out for help. The fact that you are reading this is already an awesome step! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
