Who I work with: romantic relationships of all configurations (including ethical nonmonogamy), sex and sexuality, gender exploration, spiritual and religious trauma, anxiety, and embodiment.
You’re not broken. You never were. I believe you have the keys for healing and I can help you find your internal compass to open those doors within. I’m a neurodivergent therapist who loves working with my clients using a neurodivergent-affirming approach. I love to help you unmask, to live joyfully and authentically, even in a world that was not designed for you. I use a radically compassionate lens to help you know, accept, and love every part of you. In relationships, the partners we choose trigger deep wounds. I can help you begin to heal those relational traumas, so your partnership(s) can grow in health, love, and support.

I enjoy working with clients of diverse ethnic backgrounds, cultures, gender, and sexual orientations.
Let’s talk about SEX! Thats right, let's talk about the TABOO. Concerns over intimacy and sex impacting your wellbeing? Are you struggling with letting your partner know what you like (or don't like) in the bedroom? Does sex feel like another chore at the end of the night that there is no energy for? Is watching porn and masturbating (you or your partner) affecting your relationship? Are there religious beliefs or stigmas that are affecting your mental health? Sexual desire, arousal, rapid or delayed ejaculation, low sexual frequency or satisfaction and out-of-control sexual behavior are my primary focus.

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.
