Feeling like you have mismatched libidos or desires? Intimacy gets tricky when it feels like a chore. Maybe you are the partner wishing for more connection. You still love each other, but the spark has faded, and you’re left wondering, Is this it? I work with couples and individuals facing challenges like erectile issues, premature ejaculation, painful sex, low libido, sex after kids, and even recovering from an affair. These topics are hard to address, and they need a specialist in sexuality. With more than 20 years of experience, I support the LGBTQ+ community, and I am kink and open/polyamorous lifestyles.

I use somatic work, enriched by my practices in mindfulness and Tantra. I bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep respect for cultural diversity. I offer flexible scheduling options, including evenings and weekends, and conduct sessions fluently in Spanish. You will leave each session with tools to use at home.

The decision to seek help can be an immensely challenging and vulnerable step. My practice often welcomes clients who have felt misunderstood or unfulfilled by previous therapeutic experiences. It's not uncommon for individuals to express after their first session with me, sentiments like, "I wish I had come sooner," or "This was easier than I thought."
