My goal as a culturally aware LMFT and AASECT certified sex therapist is to help people navigate their relationships with themselves, others, and their identity. When I founded Bare Conversations, I wanted clients to be able to see themselves in me and feel understood by someone who can relate. I am proudly sex-positive, LGBTQIA+, Kink, BDSM, and polyamory-affirming. Bare Conversations is a safe and welcoming space where clients can feel comfortable sharing their true identities and innermost thoughts. If you're ready to dig deep and make some big changes, I'm the therapist for you.
I'm trained to work with individuals, systems, and groups of people in areas including anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship conflict, sexual dysfunction, and other intimacy concerns. I work with individuals of color and BIPOC + interracial couples to heal from past trauma and flourish as their unique selves.
I take a strong approach to therapy by using strength and evidence-based techniques to challenge you into becoming a healthier, more whole version of yourself. Whether starting therapy for the first time or years in, I'll meet you where you are. Together, we'll empower your self-discovery in a safe space.
