I love supporting those who want to dive deep to better understand themselves, have more fulfilling relationships and access more pleasure & empowerment. I focus on working with sexual concerns, non-traditional relationships, neurodivergence, queer & gender expansive folks and sex workers. As a sex therapist, I approach sexual concerns as more than the act itself, but the intersection of sexual education, culture, ancestry, reproductive justice, identity, traumas, capacity for intimacy, and body image.
I lead with curiosity, warmth and authenticity as we work together to create a container that is conducive for your growth. I'll celebrate every win and encourage you to do the same-no matter how small or silly. With my clinical guidance, we will use a mix of practical skill-building with process-oriented exploration. All parts of you are welcome.
As a former artist and second-generation immigrant, I am fueled by creativity, vigor, and a passion for helping you create a life that may not exist yet and actualize it safely and practically. I'd love to hear from you & offer a free phone consultation to get started!
