Very few of us were given the tools and affirmation needed to navigate sex, identity, and relationships, despite these things being a fundamental part of our humanity. I am a sex & relationship therapist passionate about reducing sexual shame, fostering a lens of curiosity and self-acceptance in sexuality, building a sense of playfulness and confidence, developing a personal acumen of sexual values, and unlearning messages of sex-negative cultures.
Here are some of the topics that often come up in sex & relationship therapy with the folks I work with:
Kink/fetish; non-monogamy/polyamory/open relationships; gender/sexual identity; sexual shame/self-acceptance; erectile dysfunction, pain, vaginismus, premature ejaculation, compulsive behavior, etc.; desire/libido mismatch; Purity Culture recovery; affairs/infidelity; performance anxiety; intimacy issues; sex & dating; low libido; "Am I normal?" questions
No two experiences or people are the same. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, even if what you are looking doesn’t fall neatly into one of these categories—it is a non-exhaustive list!
I am a queer and trans-identified therapist licensed in Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Delaware, & California. Please see my website for more details about me and my practice.
