I help couples, polycules, and individuals live fulfilling lives through strong relationships and shame free sexual expression. Have you had the same argument with a partner or ex-partner over and over again? Do you struggle to enjoy sex in the way you think you should? Do you feel lonely in your relationships? Have you tried dating, but nothing seems to work out? I hear you. That's so hard. I provide guidance and a safe place to explore these very human struggles. Sometimes we find ourselves stuck by a feeling and are unsure where to start. I am passionate about supporting others in getting to the root of lasting issues.
I am a systemic therapist. This means I will look at the whole picture of your life and relationships and how they impact one another. I have extensive training in sex therapy and can help you navigate a broad range of sexual issues, expressions, and identities. I specialize in working with couples and polycules, but I love working with individuals, too.
Living and loving is tough. In therapy, we will work collaboratively to explore ways you can live your most fulfilling and pleasurable life. Please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to getting to know you!

When working with clients, I primarily blend Emotionally Focused Therapy (based on attachment theory), and Narrative Therapy (looks at your life like a story). I apply anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and sex-positive lenses to each modality I draw from. I am trained in many models, and as a collaborative therapist, will create the right blend of theory for you.
