Hey badasses and tenderhearts. I’m Petey, a sex educator and therapy intern making the taboo feel totally normal. I create inclusive, shame free spaces where you can show up as your full, messy, beautiful self. I work mostly with adults on sexual wellness, intimacy, identity, and unlearning sexual shame. I also support couples. I bring a mix of art and science to the therapy room with a background in bioethics, studio art, and counseling. If you are curious, questioning, healing, or just want to talk about the stuff no one else will, I am here for it. Let’s talk!
I'm a laughter enthusiast who brings warmth, humor, and a down to earth vibe to every session. Whether I'm guiding someone through a tough conversation or making art in my studio, my goal is always the same: to help people feel safe, valued, and free to be exactly who they are.
I blend science, creativity, and my ADHD-fueled curiosity into everything I do. I'm a certified NREMT, advanced open water SCUBA diver, and licensed ER tech, and I love collecting new skills just for the fun of it. I also enjoy living abroad and Madrid, Spain has become my home away from home.
