I am a Certified Sex Therapist as well as a Perinatal Mental Health professional, making me the first Orthodox Jewish woman who holds both credentials simultaneously.
Just because you carry it well, doesn't mean it isn't heavy. You deserve more than just being seen. The world is a scary and ever-changing place. Dealing with uncertainty, transition, and challenges puts stress on relationships, and on personal values. Curiosity, mindfulness, and a dialectical approach makes it possible to find meaning, and even pleasure, in some of the most bleak situations, with the right support.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family (LMFT) therapist working from a systemic lens through my virtual private practice. My philosophy is that through cultivating your relationship with yourself and by becoming the best, most developed version of yourself, you can engage in relationships - romantic, familial, and platonic - in deeper, more meaningful, and healthier ways. My hope is to facilitate you and/or you and your loved ones through this process by exploring what is keeping you stuck and discovering old patterns that no longer serve you.

I’m formally trained in treatment of anxiety/OCD, sex and relationships, emotional abuse, codependency, and attachment; certified in complex trauma, personality disorders, and grief.
You've spent so much of your life overperforming in relationships, striving to earn love and worthiness. You’ve tried being perfect, doing more, and making sure everyone else is ok even if you're the one who's hurting. You're left anxious, resentful, and hiding your own needs to keep the peace. You may feel like other people's needs or problems are louder than your worth. Starting therapy might feel both hopeful and overwhelming. What if you start prioritizing yourself or saying "no" and your whole world falls apart? You just want to exist as you are, to know that you’re enough, and to receive the same love you offer to others.

Sex Therapy Therapists
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.
