Great to meet you!

As an AASECT certified sex and relationship therapist, I help individuals and couples navigate the complexities of sex, intimacy, dating and relationship(s). I offer a sex-positive, life-affirming approach to therapy. I welcome people of every ability, race/ethnicity, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, and gender identity. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and aligned with the standards set forth by The World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH). My specialties include helping couples heal attachment injuries caused by mismatched sexual desire, out of control sexual behavior, and infidelity/betrayal. I assist individuals struggling with sexual pain, sexual abuse, and sexual dysfunction. I also work with people in recovery from complex PTSD/developmental trauma, substance misuse and other addictions.

My approach to therapy

Providing a comfortable and emotionally safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors is essential to our therapeutic process. In therapy, we will identify strengths and resources unique to your life experience. Together, we will create realistic goals so you can implement meaningful changes in your life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session together, I will listen carefully to your concerns and we will discuss what you would like to achieve by working together. My goal is that you leave the session feeling a bit lighter and hopeful about your path forward.
