Sex Therapists in Wynnewood, PA
I am licensed as a clinical social worker and a marriage and family therapist, and I am also an AASECT-certified sex therapist.
I concentrate on helping patients explore and enrich emotional and sexual intimacy, improve their communication skills, and address conflicts in relationships. I am equally comfortable navigating current concerns and challenges, while also working 'below the surface' to explore factors that influence the capacity to feel more authentic and valued.

In addition to my generalized knowledge of psychology, my human sexuality education has trained me to treat sexual dysfunctions and given me an in-depth understanding of matters around sexual orientation and gender.
At this unprecedented moment, you may be feeling intense anxiety and are unsure where to turn. I will give you connection, warmth, humor, and insight as I help you navigate this period in your life. The key to any successful treatment is a safe, trusting, compassionate relationship between the therapist and client- this is our first goal. Often our most intimate relationships play out problems that we encounter again and again. Together we will examine connections between your past and present, and ways in which current behaviors can be modified in order to have more successful and fulfilling relationships- our long term goal.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of complex trauma and PTSD. I believe in creating a relatable and safe space to work through the toughest parts of our past. While some trauma is overt, such as PTSD, other traumas can be hidden behind depression or anxiety. Emotional traumas can even arise from being raised by parents or guardians with personality disorders. I have over 10 years of experience using EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic interventions to address various forms of trauma.

I hold a Master's in Couple and Family Therapy with a specialization in Sex Therapy from Thomas Jefferson University.
You might look like you have it together—but inside, your relationships or sense of self can feel confusing, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that drain you. I work with individuals and couples seeking deeper connection—to themselves, their partners, and their lives. Together, we explore emotional blocks, intimacy and communication struggles, and the ways your body and nervous system carry tension. I support clients navigating relational uncertainty, identity and cultural exploration, trust and communication challenges, desire differences, neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+ and kink-affirming relationships, and relationship transitions.

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.

Regardless of the issue, what matters most is the client's desire for change.

I am also training in couples and sex therapy.
Therapy is hard work, but I believe you already have the internal strength you need, and I am here to help guide and empower you along the way. Instead of interrogating whether thoughts are true or not, I encourage getting in touch with the feelings, memories, and stories beneath the thoughts. Your past attachment experiences have shaped what you believe is true about yourself, others, and the world; these stories are often self-critical, simplistic, and unhelpful. I can guide you in identifying your personal values and intentions, and empower you to evaluate those stories in this new context.

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.

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.
