Sex feels like a chore.
I help women go from dreading sex to actually wanting it without forcing it. It's not about pressing harder on the gas, it's about taking your foot off the brakes. Your sex drive isn't broken, it’s stuck. You'll understand what's blocking you, how to release it, and exactly how to enjoy yourself, so sex stops feeling like work and starts feeling good again.

Are you finding yourself stuck in the same relational loop? Are your insecurities preventing you from moving forward? Do you struggle to set and vocalize boundaries, wants, and needs? Do you live with negative self-talk? You’re in the right place. In sessions, we will investigate some of the root causes of the patterns in your life and relationships, and strive for self-discovery and self-growth. I will help you to identify and ultimately challenge negative self-talk that has likely impacted your view of self and led to negative coping behaviors.

Is your relationship seriously lacking in the sex department?

Imagine you no longer struggle with desire or performance anxiety but lead with confidence, control and focus. You are more rested and feel alive again. You are feeling adequate, sexy and eager to engage in intimacy.

As a trauma-informed certified sex therapist, I'm here to offer you a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore all the things you've been afraid to say out loud.
Many of my clients come to me feeling disconnected - from themselves, their bodies, their relationships, or their true desires. Often this disconnection stems from past trauma, anxiety, or the pressures of performance and perfectionism that weigh heavily on our systems. People bring me things they might not feel safe talking about with other providers or even friends, such as body image issues, erectile dysfunction, childhood abuse, and identity concerns. I specialize in working with queer, nonmonogamous, and kinky folks, though I'm happy to show up for anyone who is ready to nurture a deeper sense of connection in their lives.

Five years later, I completed my doctoral program in Human Sexuality Studies.
My ideal client is anyone who is ready to make the necessary change in their life. The client does not need to know exactly what the issue is; simply knowing that something is wrong is enough. Due to my expertise, I am confident and competent working with life transitions, anxiety, sexual dysfunction, communication, and much more. Regardless of the issue, what matters most is the client's desire for change.

My focus areas include relationship and sex therapy.
I strive to work with folks who do not feel like they fit the typical mold of society. So many of us have experienced othering or felt judgment for our unique qualities. It is a pleasure to aid folks in reframing those differences as strengths and assets. Whether a client feels different due to identity or sexual orientation or just thinks differently, I hope to help these clients find a sense of peace within themselves. I enjoy working with all members of society but have a love for working with folks in the LGBTQIA+, Poly, Kink-conscious, nerdy, and those who strive to appreciate their quirks and uniqueness.
