Great to meet you!

I offer individual and sex therapy via telehealth for adults all over Illinois.

My areas of specialization include sexuality and gender exploration and affirmation, building strong and ethical nonmonogamous relationships, addressing anxiety and avoidance, and developing confidence communicating desires, feelings and boundaries.

My approach to therapy

You deserve pleasure, regardless of what you’ve experienced. I can help you develop confidence in communicating your desires, feelings, and boundaries. Sex therapy can help if you want to work on something and your partner doesn’t. In sex therapy, all partners are welcome. You also can attend regular individual therapy if you want to work on sexual shame, trying to date, or exploring gender or sexuality.

What you can expect from me

Individual or sex therapy in a safe, non-judgmental space could be right for you if you want to be seen for who you are. You don’t need to explain or defend yourself. I’m non-judgmental, empathetic, calming, and real. I’ll be right there guiding you through this process every step of the way.
