Are you longing for a deeper sense of self and struggling to identify or voice your own needs? Falling back into old patterns of thinking and behaving that derail your relationships, your life goals, or trigger diminished feelings of self-worth? Are you struggling to connect intimately with your partner and can't find the words to talk it about it without shame, blame or conflict? Do you struggle to feel connected to people in your life, feel isolated, or overly anxious? Has trauma or past experiences been the building blocks of unhelpful core beliefs you wish to change? You're not alone, let's talk!
As a Sex Therapist, I treat mismatched desire, low libido, sexual shame, sexual trauma, ED, infidelity, infertility and pornography abuse. I'm ENM, Poly, LS/BDSM/Kink aligned. My background in mental health, sexual health, trauma, crisis intervention, and medical social work allows for an informed and holistic approach to treatment, tailored to your needs.
I aim to create a warm and supportive environment where my clients feel comfortable opening up about their struggles. I strive to build a strong therapeutic relationship built on empathy, trust, and respect for my clients. I believe that therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and I'd love to work with you. Book directly with me today!

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy, then decide the most appropriate ways to support you. My treatment types are most influenced by CBT, Trauma Focused CBT, IFS (Parts Work), DBT, ACT, Gottman Method (couples work), Attachment theories, and Art Therapy. However, for any method to be effective you must first feel supported, safe and seen by your provider.
