As a sex therapist, I am trained to address a wide range of sexual health issues and concerns. Sexuality often carries stigma, but it's important to recognize that mental health issues can impact sexual well-being, and vice versa. I offer a sex-positive approach and am experienced in working with diverse sexual minority populations. Whether you're dealing with sexual dysfunction, seeking gender-affirming care, navigating relationship dynamics (including polyamory), exploring your sexual identity, discovering new kinks, or simply need someone to talk to, I am here to provide a safe and supportive space for your healing journey.

Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start. My clients struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions, exposure to traumatic events, and PTSD. These symptoms often leave them feeling helpless, afraid, and like things will never get better. Even though you want to run. Even though it's heavy and difficult. Even though you're not quite sure of the way through. Healing happens by feeling. To work on yourself is the best thing you can do. You will see, in the end you're going to make peace with yourself.

Through life you may feel as though you are in a constant fight with yourself. Where the history of your battles have not been won, but only suppressed. Overtime they are unknowingly disarmed and you find yourself walking across an unknown terrain that triggers you to fall apart. With this comes the ability to pick up your broken pieces and put them all back together healthily. What is great about being human is the ability to learn and grow.

The most important relationships in our lives can often feel the most challenging. Clients who come to me often feel "stuck" in their relationships with a spouse or family member. They seek guidance on how to strengthen their connections, foster closeness, and reduce conflict.

Have you ever felt stuck in the same cycle over and over no matter how hard you try to break away? These type of patterns can often make it feel impossible to stay connected, be at peace, and thrive. I want you to know there is hope. Together we can explore how past patterns and trauma affect the present while building on your strengths to manifest a feeling of inner strength and freedom. I value creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients of LGBTQ+ identities, kink/sex-positive practices, and polyamorous relationships are safe and welcomed.
