Though I see a range of client types, I find I am best suited to work with the black sheep. My clients often find it taxing, if not impossible, to function at high levels while carrying their stressors. I work with people to figure out what good looks like for them, and help them create a new, intentional, normal. My clients come to me stressed, anxious, depressed, traumatized, worried, and angry; and they are all on a path of healing and growth. I see all sexual orientations and genders in my practice.

Became a CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) in 2015: no longer credentialed.
Now licensed to provide telehealth in Texas, Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee as well as California. In my experience, approaching treatment with the dual aim of increasing insight and self-awareness as well as behavior modification and tangible goals yields the best results. I offer both reflective as well as pragmatic resources. If we decide to work together, we will identify the specific issues that brought you to seek help and keep your therapy focused on these issues. If you're stuck in unwanted behaviors, an unhealthy relationship, emotional ruts, or just stuck in yourself, let's talk and see if we might be a match.

As a sex therapist, I offer a space to explore your needs, desires, and identity without shame.
My ideal client is thoughtful, capable, and often seen as “put together”; yet something feels off inside. They may feel disconnected from their body, frustrated in their relationship, or unsure how to express desire without shame. They want more: deeper connection, honest intimacy, and permission to rediscover themselves. They’re tired of masking, minimizing, or settling. Their goal is to feel whole, seen, and sexually alive. They seek a space that’s affirming, confidential, and attuned to their inner experience; where they can finally say what hasn’t been said. My practice is free from judgement and open for exploration.

I specialize in sex therapy and work closely with the LGBTQIA and BDSM communities.
Now serving Tennessee and Colorado residents. Let’s be honest-therapy is uncomfortable! There’s no getting around that squirmy “I can’t believe I have to tell this stranger my problems” feeling. The only way to make progress is to move through those feelings. I am here to be by your side and guide you through the numerous emotions that come up in session. I admire my clients for their ability to face the challenges of therapy with veracity, strength, and sometimes humor. I’m here to make the therapy process marginally less uncomfortable by providing a safe, non-judgmental space along with my therapy dog Jasper.
