Counseling is an intimate process, and can bring to light aspects of our lives that we have intentionally shielded from public view. Here, in closed corners, many of us struggle with loneliness, broken relationships, paralyzing fears, unmet expectations, and questions about our purpose. This is also where our most profound healing occurs. It’s scary. It’s nerve wrecking. But taking that first step is always worth it.

I have yet to meet anyone whose life experience has been wholly devoid of struggle. It seems to be part of the human condition. Although relative, these struggles are something we are all faced with from time to time throughout our lives. In my experience, therapy provides us with the means to not only face and overcome these struggles, but also to find empowerment and purpose within what may have previously been only pain. My belief in the transformative gift one can experience through effective therapy was born during my own personal journey of healing and growth, and later solidified through my work with others.

Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, PhD, CTP, CMMT

Existential Sex Therapy for intimacy, desire & belonging.
Many people arrive carrying something they cannot yet name: low desire, something essential gone missing or the long shadow of sexual trauma. I work exclusively with individuals navigating desire, intimacy & the deeper questions that surface when sexual experience feels misaligned.
Sexual concerns arrive as meaning waiting to be understood. As an existential sex therapist, I draw from existential therapy, clinical sexology, mindfulness & stoicism. Sex therapy is rarely about technique. It is almost always about the self who was silenced.

Everyone carries invisible roles and stories shaped by family, culture, and survival. Often, these internal patterns are so familiar that we mistake them for who we are. Maybe you’re the one who holds it all together—or the one who quietly pulls away. Maybe anxiety, ADHD, or a deep sense of disconnection makes it hard to feel present, seen, or in control. At some point, what once helped you cope begins to limit you. Therapy offers a place to slow down and begin to listen differently—to yourself, your relationships, and your emotional life.

Life can be hard and sometimes has some twists and turns that weren't planned. Maybe you just found out that having a child the way you envisioned is not going to happen. Or maybe you feel alone and lost with this new baby in your home, almost like you don't know who you are anymore. I understand that taking the first step to come to a therapy session can be nerve wracking and uncomfortable since you don't know me yet, but I hope that in time you can feel that this is a safe space for you to open up and share.
