Hello! I’m a trauma-informed therapist training in sex therapy and I create a safe, affirming space to explore the intersection of trauma, sexuality, and relationships. I work with individuals navigating sexual trauma, identity exploration, and relational challenges, helping you reconnect with yourself and build fulfilling, authentic connections. I am deeply committed to sexual wellness and inclusivity. I work with individuals across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum and welcome diverse relationship structures, including kink and consensual non-monogamy. I strive to create a space where all parts of you are respected, explored, and understood.
In our sessions, I like to get straight to what matters most: your experiences with sexuality, intimacy, and relationships. I take an eclectic, relational approach, drawing from EMDR, schema, and attachment-based work to explore how past experiences and trauma shape your sexual self and connection with others.
Your journey, with all its twists, truly matters. Embarking on a healing journey is choosing yourself, a courageous act deserving of support. You deserve a life unburdened by your past. Your experience matters. You matter. Welcome to a journey of warmth, understanding, and self-discovery. Email me today and we can rewrite your story together!

I utilize a sex therapy framework, integrating EMDR with a schema-based approach to address the impact of trauma on sexuality, intimacy, and relationships. Together, we will identify patterns and process underlying experiences to reduce distress and improve connection. This work supports a more integrated, adaptive, and fulfilling sexual and relational life.
