My intention is to create a powerful therapeutic relationship between myself and my clients. I know and have witnessed that struggling with sexuality issues can often lead to feelings of shame or embarrassment. I see our sexualities as one of the most diverse and unique parts of ourselves. I believe that difference does not equal disorder, and being "normal" is often not the goal. I am poly/open and kink knowledgeable and have experience in working with non-traditional relationship dynamics, LGBTQIA2+ issues, individuals and couples & families relationship issues.

I am a relational-centered and compassion-focused sex therapist which means my approach with individuals and couples is to help you recognize sexual and relational habits that shape your daily life and help you become aware of and understand how these habits and patterns impact the intimacy you have with yourself, others, and the world around you.
It’s easy to get stuck and confused about who you are and how to find meaning in life. Do you want to know yourself better? Would you like to explore the things impacting your relationships? Are you curious about the people, places, things, and experiences that helped define your thoughts, feelings, fantasies, and attractions? These conversations are complex and not often a prioritized part of life. Many have not found the words for these parts of themselves. We are often bound by cultural conditions, traumas, and obstacles that hold us back from connecting to an aliveness that promotes healing and moves us forward in life.

As a Modern Sex Therapy Institutes Certified Sex Therapist I work with clients across a range of relationships to build intimacy, and to deepen connection, vulnerability, and trust.
Deep trust and communication are at the heart of safe, secure, and fulfilling relationships. Whether with family, in romance, in therapy, or in sport; trust and safety allow us to be fully expressed, to explore, to take risks, and to grow. The therapeutic relationship can provide unique opportunities to feel safe, seen, and understood. It can also support our innate capacities for healing, integration, and growth.

I am a former Roman Catholic priest who is sex-positive, LGBTQIA-embracing, poly-friendly, and kink-friendly.
I'm a couples counselor and intimacy/sex coach who can help you with your challenges in communication, conflict, trust/infidelity, and intimacy style differences. In your marriage or long-term relationship, did you have excellent sexual chemistry at the beginning, but after 5, 10, 20+ years the chemistry has waned? Have your efforts to communicate to your partner what pleases you been unsuccessful? Is it challenging to integrate your committed journey in faith with your sexuality? Does your partner want to be polyamorous, but you are unwilling to accept that? Do you need help navigating an alternative lifestyle?

You will learn to speak from the heart during challenges, transcend unhealthy relationship patterns, and connect with a fully embodied sexuality.
Relationship habits with our intimate partners can create familiarity and easefulness—they can also inhibit a fresh and fulfilling way of being together. When relationship shortcuts create disconnection or even hurtful interactions, we feel misunderstood and not seen for our true hopes and intentions. I support you to slow down and connect in the present moment where the power resides to develop a whole-body intimacy with a partner. It is in the here and now where you can reawaken the creativity and integrity of your connection.

I use a blend of somatic, contemplative, practical skill-based and sex therapy methods to support your growth and move the obstacles that are blocking you from the love and intimacy you want.
You can't shake the feeling that you're settling for less than is possible in your relationship. You've been trying on your own, but the problems in your relationship feel stuck, like they're just not going anywhere. You find yourself and your partner getting upset and reacting in the same old unhelpful ways over and over, but just don't know how to find your way back to authentic, loving intimacy. You're scared there might not be a way back. But you're hopeful that, with professional support, you can reclaim the sexual and emotional intimacy you've been missing, and find a way out of the same old fights and back into being in love.

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.
