I hold affirming space for visionary, non-conforming, pleasure seekers in California who need support and some inspiration for their sexual self-discovery journeys. I am an AASECT certified sex therapist, and provide education, skill building, and a shame free zone to talk about desire, identity, and relationships.
My orientation is feminist, integral, and mindfulness based. I delight in helping my clients to trust themselves and love themselves and to reclaim pleasure and desire! My approach is rooted in a practice of presence, is sex positive, LGBTransQIA+ and non-binary welcoming, and respectful of client’s values, spiritual paths, and lifestyle choices.
Maybe in the past you’ve been in therapy because someone else asked you to go. This time, I invite you to choose it for yourself, and experience the difference. Starting down the path of self-compassion is a step that only you can take, but it's a path that changes everything. When you’re ready, I’d be honored to be an ally on the journey.
