I am a queer sex therapist, providing a relaxed, open, collaborative and non-judgmental atmosphere. My intention is to support people in the LGBTQIA+, non-monogamy, and kink communities (Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diverse). I will cater my approach to your needs, but my natural style is straight-forward, so I tend to delve into the issues at hand so that you can see improvement in your emotional well-being as quickly as possible. Once immediate stressors have been calmed, we can work on a deeper level together in order to gain insight on underlying beliefs and experiences that may be contributing to your distress.

You're not sick or broken. What's broken is a world that normalizes abuse, discrimination, and unrealistic standards. Most of my clients come to therapy thinking there's something wrong with them for feeling sad, scared, angry, and disconnected, when in reality, these feelings are natural, nonpathological reactions to difficult situations. While we can't control what happened in the past or even some of what's going on around us now, what we can learn is new ways of responding to stress and thinking about ourselves and our circumstances.

What does “healing” mean to you? Is it a one-time event or an ongoing process? Maybe for you it’s both or neither or more? How you define healing will be based on your needs, goals and experiences. I am passionate about providing culturally-sensitive and affirming care for clients who suffer from overwhelming emotions as a result of trauma, medical issues, violence, grief, and lack of acceptance from loved ones based on their identity. I bring over ten years of practice experience as a medical social worker, therapist, and community health advocate to my work with my clients.

Things aren't going as you'd hoped or planned. You're strong, doing your best, and holding it together. But things may be falling apart. Maybe it feels like YOU are starting to fall apart at times. You feel stressed. Disconnected. Overwhelmed. Uncertain. Perhaps you're at a transition point in life and wondering how exactly you ended up here. Maybe it is due to a loss of a relationship, the loss of hope of what could or should be, or the death of a loved one. Or perhaps there isn't a clear reason.

I work with adults and adolescents navigating eating disorders, self-esteem, and embodiment issues, and with individuals and couples seeking sex and relationship therapy. My practice is rooted in inclusivity and social justice, especially for those exploring nonmonogamy, kink dynamics, or who identify as queer or neurodivergent. In a world that disconnects us from our bodies and authentic selves, it can be difficult to feel safe, present, and connected. My goal is to help you reconnect—with your body, your desires, and your relationships—while navigating life’s challenges with resilience and self-compassion.

The effects of trauma can reverberate long after the traumatic experience is over. Traumatic events can overwhelm your ability to cope, leaving you feeling anxious, fearful, angry, depressed, or numb. Traumatic stress can cause you worry, overthink, lose sleep, and have trouble focusing. It can strain your relationships and affect your ability to trust and feel safe. If your trauma has left you feeling stuck, hopeless, or defeated, know that help is available. Healing is possible, and you don't have to go it alone.
