Maybe sex has become filled with pain, fear, or confusion, or you’re noticing a lack of desire that’s creating distance in your relationship.
In sessions, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe and supported. For couples, that might mean slowing down conflict to truly hear one another, rebuilding trust, and exploring what each partner needs to feel desired and understood. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounding, and sometimes lighthearted, with real work held in warmth and care.

I’m an existential therapist and sex therapist who incorporates elements of narrative, feminist, emotionally-focused and Jungian therapy into my work.
I strongly believe that the path to empowered embodiment lies in facing and integrating the shadow self, or what we commonly recognize as the more challenging and/or shame-inducing aspects of self. Stories - those we’ve been told, those we tell ourselves, and the ones we keep coming back to - play a fundamental role in how we engage with the world around us. One of our human superpowers lies in our ability to determine which stories we wish to align with, and which ones we wish to rewrite, reimagine, and/or rediscover. Through this intentional work, I believe it is possible to discover and experience liberation, connection, and joy.

I offer traditional CBT and solution-focused talk therapy as well as trauma-responsive, body-integrative approaches including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), mindfulness, and sex therapy.
It’s hard to be a person. Even when life is at its most joyful, our relationships, our pasts, and the constant presence of change can be overwhelming, confusing, or defeating. I’m here to help with that. Therapy is my second career. I chose this work because I believe everybody deserves nonjudgmental support, whether they are in crisis, preparing for change, or simply stuck. I have seen what can happen when pain has no witness. I have also experienced the transformations that can take place when hurt and struggle are seen, heard, and met with compassion, understanding, and perspective.

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.
