As a licensed clinical psychologist, I bring compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for your lived experience.

Some gentle reminders from me to you: Not everyone can see the weight you’ve been carrying for years. That weight is real, and it’s heavy; Your body is not not overreacting, it's remembering; You deserve to heal from experiences that were never your fault; Your sensitivity and softness are not a burden-they are part of your deep, caring nature; You are not responsible for the poor behavior of others-you can set boundaries, know your worth and trust yourself; It's okay (and necessary) to grieve younger versions of yourself who felt unseen, people-pleased or who felt out of place; It makes sense to feel the way you do.

Many of people I work with are functioning well on the surface but underneath they are carrying emotional pain or a sense of disconnection. Some are navigating life transitions, relationship struggles, or the impact of past experiences that still echo in the present. Others are simply tired of repeating the same patterns and long for a different way of being, one that feels more aligned with who they truly are. I work with individuals and couples who seek deeper self-understanding and more fulfilling, connected ways of living and relating.

Sex Therapy Therapists
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.
