Sex Therapy in Minneapolis, MN

Maybe you have a sense of what life could be like if you were truly expressing yourself without fear or shame. Maybe you haven’t even let yourself dream about what that could look like—just yet. Maybe there are barriers in the way and you don’t know how to navigate through them. This is where I can be of help. I work with creative folks to more fully embrace their identities and better understand how their past impacts their present moment. I focus on social identity development, (ie gender, sexuality , etc) and sex therapy through a trauma-informed lens. Let’s work together so that you can cultivate a life that celebrates you!

Sexual concerns, past traumas, anxieties, self-doubt and unhelpful communication patterns can leave us feeling stuck. I help people remove the road blocks that keep them from having fulfilling connections with the people who matter most in their lives. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples feel empowered to live their best lives. I strive to help couples deepen their emotional and sexual relationship People who work with me often describe my style as calm, empathetic, straight forward and insightful.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages and stage of life to live congruently and work towards balance in all aspects of life. I incorporate a systemic lens to help clients identify the influence of one’s family system and greater social systems on their presenting issues, and try to incorporate humor and genuine connection in each of my therapeutic relationships. ​

Welcome! Being human is a beautiful and vulnerable experience that doesn't always have directions or clear answers. It is hard to be faced with so many unknowns regarding health, finances, politics, relationships, and the world at large. If you are a highly sensitive person, you may feel raw to everything around you including sounds, physical touch, or even other peoples' emotions. Or perhaps you would like a more fulfilling sex life and/or would like to feel more connected in your relationship(s).

Relationships require continued trust, communication, and deep awareness of each other’s worlds. I work with couples, including polyamorous and non-monogamous, to build connection, trust, and intimacy in their relationships. I also help partners learn to manage conflict more effectively. I particularly love helping partners find ways to communicate about difficult and sensitive issues. This is especially important when partners struggle to connect around sexual wants and needs. These conversations need an atmosphere of trust, acceptance, and non-judgment, as partners learn to validate and respond to each other's sexual feelings.

I am passionate about working with clients with non-traditional relationship structures or sexual interests (i.e. BDSM/kink, fetish, polyamorous, etc). I also enjoy helping clients discover where their sexual passions lie so they can have a more fulfilling sex life. I enjoy working with any sexual concern you may have including: Mismatched desire with your partner, low desire, sexual pain, sexual trauma, sexual dysfunctions, infidelity, etc. I welcome clients from all walks of life including those struggling with problematic sexual behavior (" sex addiction"), and/or sexual offenses, and sex workers.

If you're struggling with relationship conflict, sexual problems, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, infertility, or pregnancy loss, and the overwhelm, isolation, and pain that follows- I'm here for you! What's more, I have special training in working with people recovering from narcissistic abuse as well as high-conflict couples. You deserve a helping hand off the struggle bus. Helping you is my job and I love my job. Let's do this.

Illuminate your path, Awaken your life! Who you are at your core matters and deserves to be seen by the world. I am driven by a desire to make a difference in the lives of others and to positively impact the world. I actively seek to live a life guided by a sense of purpose and meaning. My goal is to help you do the same with a highly personalized approach that addresses your needs and meets your criteria for personal success. This includes finding and solidifying the essential relationships in your life!

I work with individuals and couples experiencing issues related to sex , desire, traditional gender roles, and self image to support you in building the life you want. Couples/partners may struggle with communication related to sex , desire discrepancy, or unhelpful relationship dynamics. Individuals may wish to explore their sexual identity, unpack past traumas or family patterns that cause distress in present relationships, create new expressions of masculinity or femininity, or learn how to prioritize pleasure.

I work with adult individuals, couples & non-monogamous relationships and treat relational & sexual health concerns: conflict & miscommunication, sexual functioning issues, sexual pain disorders, sexual dissatisfaction & desire discrepancy, anxiety & depressive disorders. Many patients I work with are LGBTQIA+ folks, those engaging in unconventional sexual behaviors (BDSM, kink, fetish, etc.) or practicing non-monogamy, and/or sex workers. My expertise is in stigma management & support for "sexual outsider" communities. I am licensed in Minnesota, Montana, & Iowa and treat therapy patients in these 3 states through video therapy.

There's no shame in the sex therapy or coaching game! LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX ! Sex therapy can help heal shame, feel sexy AF, increase confidence, and more! Deep down you've hidden who you really are and shame takes over when you think about asking for help. Feeling safe is your goal in therapy and you want to feel comfortable with a sex therapist before SPILLING THE TEA! If you are ready to SLAY ALL DAY, tell anxiety to shut the fuck up, ask your partner to dominate you while you call them daddy, play around with makeup to explore your gender, or put yourself on the MFing to-do list for a change, then you are in the right place!

I focus on helping you build and maintain healthy relationships; personal, professional, romantic and sexual relationships. This includes individual counseling, couples counseling, and sex therapy . In individual counseling we can talk through trauma, negative thoughts, adjustments, questions of identity, happiness, or life goals. If you are having questions about intimacy, desire, shame, kink, sexual performance or desire, sex therapy may be right for you. You may be feeling a loss of connection, a wall of miscommunication and a mountain of unmet needs within your relationship and I will help you find that connection and joy.

When I think about my ideal clients, I think about all the folks I used to serve as a sex educator. Having spent the past 10 years in sex education, I believe that many of us carry cultural stigma due to sex negative ideals perpetrated by our society. As a therapist I specialize in working with: Kinky clients, non-monogamous clients, clients that work within the sex industry, and clients that are figuring out their sexuality . My ideal clients are looking for a therapist that is affirming of their relationship with sexuality and who will not shame you for your sexual identity.

I work with people who want to show up in the world and be embraced for ALL of who they are. Most of us have things that we keep hidden from others around us - locked away because we are worried that we are broken, weird, fearful of how we will be judged. The problem is, even when we are great at hiding - these things slowly but surely permeate our lives from the inside out. Everyone around you thinks you've got it all together, but on the inside - you know something is off, and you're ready to figure it out and do something different. You're ready to be honest and curious and open and make a change - to find YOUR courageous truth.

You're here because something about sex or your relationship has been a concern for months or maybe years. You wonder "will it always be this way? Is it possible to feel better?" It's lonely and overwhelming to feel disconnected from your sexuality and your partner. It can cause a rift in your social life, trickle into your work, and your general ability to relax. I'm here to help you discover, heal, and renew erotic pleasure.
