Great to meet you!

You might be in the right place if...

  • You want to talk about sex without feeling judged.
  • Your relationship doesn’t fit traditional expectations.
  • You and your partner keep having the same argument.
  • You have different levels of desire.
  • You’re considering opening your relationship.
  • You’re already non-monogamous and want support navigating it.
  • You’re questioning what commitment should look like for you.
  • You want to feel more connected to your sexuality.
  • You’re navigating a major relationship or sexual transition.
  • You’re an individual who wants to understand your patterns before bringing someone else into the picture.

My approach to therapy

I meet clients with kindness and curiosity in my sessions and provide a refreshingly non-judgmental space to talk about sex, sexuality, relationships, gender, and identity.

I work with people navigating...

  • Sex + Sexuality: Desire, mismatched libido, sexual difficulties, sexual identity, shame, fantasies, kink, sexual trauma.
  • Relationships: Communication, intimacy, conflict, infidelity, relationship transitions, breakups, commitment.
  • Non-Monogamy + Relationship Design: Polyamory, open relationships, ENM, relationship agreements, hierarchy, transitions between relationship structures.
  • LGBTQ+ Relationships: Identity, gender, sexuality, partnerships, and the unique dynamics that can come with them.

My approach is active, collaborative, direct + relational.

What you can expect from me

In our first session we'll simply get to know each other and concretize what your goals are for therapy. Think: "If you were done with therapy and felt like you had gotten what you came here for, what would you have figured out? What would you be doing differently in your life?". Together we'll chart a way forward and make a plan for energized and proactive therapeutic work.
