I am an individual, relationship & sex therapist primarily serving LGBTQIA+ clients. I accompany folks in healing from the societal, generational & trauma-based patterns that have helped you survive, but limit your access to authenticity & intimacy. Whether seeking therapy solo or with a partner, I'm here to help you develop tools to understand your defenses, listen to your body & identify your needs - all in service of discovering what helps you access safety & build trust. I'm fat-positive & kink/ace/poly-friendly. I enjoy working with disabled & chronically ill folks. I also love working with fellow healers, artists & activists.
With over a decade as a sex educator and a Masters in Human Sexuality, I take a resource-rich, holistic approach to sex therapy. I don’t believe in “normal” when it comes to bodies, genders, relationships & sexualities. I’m here to help you deconstruct what you learned you were supposed to like/want/perform & explore what brings you fulfillment & connection.
I bring a warm, frank, dedicated, and playful energy to therapy. I practice through a politicized lens and believe in the connection between relational healing & collective liberation. As of late February 2026, I have some availability for new clients. Please reach out if you want to set up a consultation!

I draw particularly from Internal Family Systems (IFS)and Gestalt. I use IFS to help clients build closer relationships with their protective parts so that they can access self-compassion in moments of activation. Gestalt Therapy helps me attune to and collaborate with my clients in being curious about how past trauma shows up in their bodies and between us relationally in the therapy space.
