I am a sex and relationship therapist primarily serving LGBTQIA+ individuals & partnerships. I enjoy accompanying folks in healing the internalized societal, generational & trauma-based patterns that have helped us survive, but limit our access to authenticity & intimacy. I think therapy can help us slow down and get curious about our defenses, listen to our bodies, identify our needs, and learn what helps us access safety & build trust. I am fat-positive, kink-friendly, ace-friendly & poly-friendly. I enjoy working with disabled & chronically ill folks. I also love working with teens and older adults.
With over a decade as a sex educator & a Masters in Human Sexuality Studies, I take a resource-rich, holistic approach to sex therapy. I don’t believe in “normal” when it comes to bodies, genders & sexualities. I’m here to help you deconstruct what you learned you were supposed to like/want/perform & help you find what brings you fulfillment & connection.
I bring a warm, frank, dedicated, and playful energy to therapy. I offer a politicized lens and believe in the connection between relational healing & collective liberation. As of Jan., I have availability for individuals, couples & other relationships, virtually & in-person with Covid precautions. Please reach out if you are excited about working together!
