As a sex and couples therapist, I help individuals, couples and polycules navigate sexual concerns and challenges that are impacting their relationships and overall well-being.

My approach to sex therapy is grounded in evidence-based practices and draws from attachment theory, cognitive-behavior therapy, mindfulness, emotion focused therapy, and sex-positive frameworks. I tailor my techniques to each client's unique needs, goals, and comfort level.

Seeking help to find peace with what may be causing mental or emotional anguish is not always easy, especially for those unfamiliar with the practice of therapy. With the taboo often attached to mental health, it can seem like a daunting task when managing fears of being labeled, misunderstood, judged or dismissed when discussing your struggles and needs with someone new. It takes true strength to find helpful strategies on your own, while also recognizing the need for more advanced skills and resources to further your healing and growth.

Life is challenging. Though we all come to therapy for different reasons, each of us is ultimately seeking relief from some form of distress.

Together, we will collaboratively explore how your lived experience informs and maintains expectations and attitudes - about yourself, others, and the world - and how these may be supporting or thwarting your current efforts to meet your needs in relationships, reach your professional goals, and realize your innermost desires.
