I am currently in training through the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes and am working toward AASECT certification as a Sex Therapist. As part of this process, I receive ongoing clinical supervision and advanced education in evidence-based sex therapy, allowing me to support clients with concerns related to sexuality, intimacy, relationships, desire, and sexual wellness.
Sex and intimacy can feel incredibly vulnerable to talk about, especially when shame, anxiety, relationship conflict, trauma, insecurity, or disconnection are involved.
A lot of people carry the feeling that something is “wrong” with them sexually, or worry they should already know how to navigate intimacy, desire, communication, or pleasure more easily than they do. Others feel disconnected from their bodies, stuck in cycles of avoidance or performance anxiety, struggling with desire differences in relationships, or unsure how to talk openly about sex at all.
Sex therapy creates space for those conversations to happen without judgment.

Sex therapy is a space to talk openly about intimacy, sexuality, relationships, and the parts of yourself that can sometimes feel difficult to talk about anywhere else. While sex therapy sessions do not involve sexual activity or sexual touch, the work itself can be more than simply talking. Depending on what you’re working through, I may incorporate somatic and experiential approaches alongside conversation and reflection to help you better understand your relationship with your body, emotions, desire, intimacy, and connection.
My approach is integrative, relational, affirming, and trauma informed. I’m interested in the emotional, psychological, relational, and cultural experiences that shape how we understand ourselves and connect with others. We might explore desire, communication, attachment, body image, shame, sexual confidence, intimacy, pleasure, boundaries, or the ways past experiences show up in your relationships. Often, the goal isn’t simply to “fix” a sexual problem. It’s about understanding what’s getting in the way of the intimacy, connection, and pleasure you want and figuring out what feels right for you.
As a queer therapist, I especially enjoy working with queer clients, queer couples, and people exploring relationships outside of traditional structures. My practice is affirming of LGBTQ+ identities, kink, polyamory, and consensual non-monogamy. I welcome clients who are questioning their sexuality, exploring new aspects of their identity, navigating changes in desire, or simply wanting to feel more comfortable and connected in their sexual and relational lives.
Sex and intimacy can be complicated. They can bring up shame, anxiety, uncertainty, vulnerability, or questions you may not know how to ask out loud. Therapy can be a space to get curious about those experiences without judgment, understand yourself more deeply, and explore what it might look like to have a more connected and fulfilling relationship with yourself, your body, your sexuality, and the people you love.
