I specialize in sex, intimacy, and relationship concerns including sexual dysfunction (low desire, erectile issues, painful sex, orgasm difficulties), poor communication, disconnection, and lack of intimacy.
Life can be painful; we often lose sight of ourselves and the things that matter to us most while we try to manage our distress the best we can. As your therapist I will help you find your path to a fulfilling, authentic, and meaningful life, even when faced with the suffering that life undoubtedly brings. I believe therapy should be a safe and affirming space for you to explore the context of your troubles, recognize your strengths, and find a path to healing, connection, and value.

I do my best work with folx who can relate to these communities/areas: LGBTQIA+, alternative sexualities, kink, BDSM, various relational structures/orientations (ENM, polyamory relationships, throuples, families, etc.), gender/sexual identity and expression, sex therapy, traumatic sex, sexual abuse, psychedelic preparation/integration, and end of life processing.
I view our work through a lens of identity, community, trauma-responsiveness, relationship, and sexual multiculturalism. This means I consider how our various social identities, mental health, and behaviors exist within multiple levels of self and are impacted by the communities we are a part of.

I specialize in anxiety, relationship concerns, transracial adoption, and sex therapy for women.
Tried therapy before and didn't get the outcome you wanted?

I offer a depth-oriented approach that challenges you to dig deeper past the walls into your patterns, relationships, and parts of self. I believe that the best foundation to do this difficult work is built through a warm, trusting, and boundaried relationship between therapist and client. Additionally, I’m very attentive to how sociopolitical and environmental factors affect our mental health and wellness.

Making the choice to seek and begin therapy can take a lot of courage, yet it is often the first step towards resolving those issues in our lives that take away from the happiness and fulfillment that we deserve. I strongly feel that effective therapy is dependent on a good fit between a client and clinician where collaboration is encouraged. I believe it is best to tailor my therapeutic approach based on the individual's goals, personality, and lifestyle. It is my priority to create a safe space and nonjudgmental environment where people can gain clarity, self- awarenss, empowerment and overcome personal challenges.

I am trained in sex therapy, trauma-informed care, financial social work, and EMDR.
Some challenges in life we hide and avoid, and over time those challenges only grow and become more disruptive. Feelings of shame and fear can hold us back from seeking support and solutions. Do you wish you could experience more pleasure, intimacy, and joy? Is a past trauma impacting your ability to connect with others and holding you back from living a full life? Psychotherapy can provide a space to explore, gain insight, and develop the knowledge and skills necessary to live a more fulfilling life.

Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.
Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.
What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.
What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
