Hi, welcome to your journey!
I specialize in working with survivors, veterans, federal employees, caregivers, differently abled or older adults, and individuals with medical PTSD who are struggling with trauma (including medical trauma), life transitions, burnout, anxiety, feeling “stuck,” or disconnected from meaning in their lives!

Maybe sex has been interfering with your mental health, your relationships, or the way you feel about yourself, and you haven't known where to turn or who to talk to. Many come to sex therapy to explore concerns such as desire discrepancy, intimacy issues, pelvic pain, erectile dysfunction, arousal difficulties, communication challenges, non-monogamy, or anxiety around general dating, sex, and relationship topics. Others come to me to heal from past sexual trauma, sexual shame, or attachment wounds. I work with individuals and couples to enhance desire and connection, reduce shame, and get the pleasure you deserve.

If you find yourself overwhelmed by anxiety, constant worry, or perfectionistic standards, therapy can be a place where relief and understanding begin. I work with individuals who are thoughtful and self-aware, yet feel stuck under the weight of intrusive thoughts, overthinking, fear of making mistakes, and ongoing self-doubt. Anxiety may show up as rigid expectations, repetitive thinking, difficulty tolerating uncertainty, or feeling paralyzed by decisions. This may also bring challenges around relationships, transitions (school, career, identity shifts), or lingering responses to past stress or trauma that continue to impact you.
