Trained extensively in sex therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and certified in Levels 1 and 2 of the Gottman Method, I integrate evidence-based frameworks while tailoring each session to the unique needs and goals of every client.

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.

At times in our lives, sex and intimacy may not be a top priority.
In my practice, I create a supportive space for people to be exactly who they are. Many of my clients realize that it’s vital to unlearn the unhelpful, often hurtful, messages about their bodies and desires that are so deeply ingrained. Together, we undo those messages to make space for freeing and healing ones to take their place.

I’m also a trained sexuality educator, a mom, a falconer, and someone who believes therapy should be a place where you can say the quiet parts out loud.
Many of the clients I work with arrive in an anxious stuckness: holding everything together, second-guessing themselves, and running the same anxiety loops or arguments with a partner or parent. You might want clarity about what you actually want, language to say it, and support to tolerate what changes when you do. I listen closely, reflect honestly, and as

Counseling is a space where you can explore, process, heal and grow. By being vulnerable we can allow ourselves the space to reflect on who we are now and where we have come from. I believe that we deserve a space where we can feel safe, comfortable and free from judgement. In this space, we can take out some of the boxes that are stored away and discover how we can let go of what no longer serves us while creating new ways of being and relating to ourselves, others, and the world around us .

A moment ago, you were doing fine. Sitting at your desk, completing an assignment-when out of nowhere it hits. A tidal wave of anxiety crashes over you as you start to panic. Your mind races, your palms sweat, and every muscle in your body tenses up. Tring to calm down and tell yourself that it will pass is no use. The overwhelming sense of impending doom is impossible to shake. You're so sick and tired of your life being hijacked by uncontrollable emotions and painful memories. You know that unless you do something different, things will only continue to get worse. But you don't know how to make a change. It all feels so helpless!

I work best with clients who are seeking deep transformation. In my experience, true healing begins when we tend to our core wounds and gently clear the blocks that prevent us from living in alignment with our deeper truth and inner integrity.
My approach is rooted in the belief that to fully return to ourselves, we must release the imprints of trauma—personal, ancestral, and collective—as well as the layers of social conditioning that disconnect us from who we are. I pay close attention to the relational field, and the ways relational trauma and disconnection shape our sense of self.

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.
