I specialize in couples/relationship therapy and am a Certified Sex Therapist through the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes.
The most important parts of mental wellness are the ability to increase one’s self-awareness and broaden one’s perspective. As your counselor, I will provide a safe and judgment free environment for you to gain a better understanding of whatever issues you are dealing with as an individual, couple, or in any other types of romantic relationships. The main goal of most clients is "to feel better," and I am here to help you make that goal more specific so that you can grow in the areas most important to you. I also strive to destigmatize counseling for men, Black / African-Americans, and other minority groups.

As a sex therapist, I specialize in treating sexual issues.
Clients engage the services of a therapist for individual or couples counseling and the topic of sex is never discussed. I believe sexuality to be a vital part of who we are as humans and ought to be addressed to discern if this aspect of clients' lives can be improved.

My ideal client may feel overwhelmed by trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, grief, or identity-related and cultural pressures. They may be emotionally exhausted from carrying responsibilities alone and are seeking a safe, affirming space where they feel truly seen, heard, and respected. Their goals often include healing from past experiences, developing healthier boundaries, improving emotional regulation, and building coping skills. Ultimately, they want to reconnect with themselves, feel more grounded and empowered, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.

The wounds of the world can become wounds of the spirit. My own lived experience under apartheid taught me that our mental health is deeply intertwined with the systems of power we live within. These structures can make us feel voiceless and overwhelmed. My therapy practice is a space to counter that, to reclaim your narrative and your power.

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.
