My own journey of self-discovery allows me to provide support that is deeply informed by an understanding of the unique challenges associated with human sexuality.
Human sexuality is a powerful force, woven into every aspect of our being throughout life. It is an integral part of us that is forever evolving; reacting and responding to both the outer world, and the inner. Whether you are looking for help to heal, to discover or rediscover, to learn about or to express your sexuality, my space is a safe place for you.

I love working with people who feel different. Specifically, with regards to gender, sex & sexuality, relationship structures and parenting with awareness & intention. In Sex Therapy we think about your sexual and intimate life. If sex (solo or partnered) is not what you had hoped it would be, counselling can be a helpful process to get a better understanding of how the body-mind connection works when it comes to the different elements of sex. I am committed to unpacking harmful narratives & misinformation, while creating a safe space for you to do the work.

For change to happen, an effort must be made. Counselling isn't so much about what the counsellor has to say. Rather, it's about being committed to doing the work yourself, with someone alongside you as a guide. Growth happens the moment you decide to get to know yourself - faults and all. The journey might not be easy, because growth can sometimes hurt. I'd love to be your guide through it all, and together we can uncover a better version of yourself - not for the sake of others, but for yourself.

As a certified Sexuality Counsellor, I focus on the authenticity of sexual identity, developmental sexology and relationship sexology.
Are you facing challenges related to your sexuality or life in general? Sexuality is a deeply personal and authentic aspect of our identity, rooted in our heritage, values, and individual experiences. It encompasses our gender roles, sexual orientation, intimacy, pleasure, and even the legacy of how we connect with ourselves and others. Life, too, with its highs and lows, from career struggles to financial stress, addiction, and more, can challenge our sense of self and sustainability.

I help LGBTQ+ (or questioning) and marginalized people struggling with identity development, sex/sexual health issues, relational trauma & self-worth/self-esteem, cultivate a fulfilling relationship with themself and others within the context of rigid cultural expectations. Feeling seen is a human need, and often, in an effort to be accepted we push down the very parts of ourselves that make us unique in favor of accomplishment, likability and to avoid punishment or embarrassment.

I have been through many different types of practitioner training in the fields of psychotherapy, community participation, coaching, coaching supervision and sacred shamanic sexuality.
I enjoy working with people who are seeking discover how they can re-connect with their authentic selves more fully. We all have a similar journey in life – of recovery from our childhood experiences in a modern society that typically demands conformity and suppression of our full expression. And we now live in amazingly interesting and scary times – a time for living freely in a mad world of ever more explicit and manic control. I love to work with people who see this chance to live with more freedom and self-expression and be part of the emerging global revolution of shared consciousness.

I enjoy working with individuals who want to understand their minds and how their past and present may impact their futures. I focus on talk-based therapy by creating a harmonious and safe relationship to explore you and your life together. I don't work in a way that is directly focused on solving specific problems, and prefer to work with individuals happy to join me in a journey of healing and growth over a longer term. I am not a therapist who will tell you what to do, or give a lot of advice, and that may be best found with someone else if that is what you need. I am a LGBTQIA+ & kink affirming therapist.

Sex Therapy Counsellors

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.
