I am a trauma informed, sex positive clinician that strives to improve connection between couples, provide inclusive sex education and focus on individuals reducing distress and improving their quality of life. I am passionate about assisting individuals & couples with enhancing communication, reducing conflict, set boundaries, resolve trauma, and cope effectively with all of life's stressors. As well as providing sex therapy as an AASECT certified sex therapist to individuals & couples, I also have 10+ years experience providing DBT and EMDR therapy to teenage and adult clients.
My specializations are in improving desire discrepancies, perinatal mental health, exploring sexual + gender identity, LGBTQ+ affirming care, couples communication and cohesiveness, navigating non-monogamy, exploring kink/bdsm, ptsd + trauma, teenage issues and increasing skillfulness with personality disorders.
I value authenticity and integrity above all else, so I always bring my genuine self to the therapy space. I look forward to connecting with and learning about you!
