If saying the word SEX out loud makes you cringe inside, you're in the right place. Right now, the idea of having a deeply satisfying relationship with yourself and others might feel distant. The longing to fully inhabit your body, connect authentically with your partner, and rekindle passion is a natural human yearning. You deserve to reclaim your right to a thriving sexual life. While it may feel difficult to find a path on your own, together we can navigate this topic so that you can feel fully present and alive in your body and your life.
As a trauma-informed Sex Therapist who has worked with relationships for nearly 2 decades, I am a warm, non-judgmental, and calm guide as you bravely uncover the questions you've hesitated to say out loud. Concerns such as erectile dissatisfaction, sexual desire discrepancy, purity culture recovery, and sexual trauma are well supported in my practice.
In our work together we'll embark on a journey of healing and growth through an inclusive lens that celebrates your unique place in the world. I specialize in religious trauma, sex therapy, and abuse recovery. I invite you to contact my practice today. Our first complimentary conversation will help us determine the best fit for you.
