Our work is collaborative, non‑judgmental, and grounded in a sex‑positive, trauma‑informed, harm‑reduction, kink‑ and poly‑affirming, intersectional, anti‑racist, feminist lens.
Many of us move through life feeling disconnected from our bodies, unsure how to talk about what we want, or quietly carrying shame about the parts of us that feel most alive. Maybe you’ve learned to keep certain needs private or to shrink the parts of you that never fit the script you were handed. That silence can feel heavy. Therapy becomes a turning point—whether you’re exploring intimacy or simply seeking a therapist who feels like the right fit.

If you’re the one others rely on but rarely feel supported yourself, therapy can be the space where you finally exhale. Therapy with me is a collaborative and insight-oriented process designed for individuals who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, relationship conflict, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm. I work especially well with clients who are highly self-aware yet struggle to translate that insight into meaningful change. Together, we explore how past experiences, attachment patterns, and core beliefs may be influencing your current relationships, mood, and decision-making.

Sex Therapy
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.
