Something isn’t sitting right. Maybe it’s your relationship. Maybe it’s your sex life. Maybe it’s something you’ve been carrying quietly for a long time, unsure how to even put it into words.
Whatever it is—you don’t have to keep avoiding it.
My path into this work is personal. After losing my brother to a traumatic event when I was fourteen, I learned early on how quickly life can change—and how important it is to have someone who can sit with you in the hard, messy, uncomfortable parts of it. That experience shaped how I show up now: grounded, direct, and not afraid to go there with you.
Since then, I’ve worked across psychiatric units, residential treatment, substance use recovery, correctional settings, and child welfare—supporting people through some of the most complex and vulnerable seasons of their lives.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma, but also the parts of life people are often taught to keep quiet—sex, desire, and intimacy.
Low desire. Mismatched desire. Feeling disconnected from your partner. Shame around sex. Difficulty communicating what you want. Trying to rebuild intimacy after betrayal. Wondering if something is “wrong” with you.
These are more common than people admit—and more fixable than people think.
I am affirming of diverse relationship structures, including ethical non-monogamy, and I approach this work in a sex-positive, trauma-informed way. This is a space where you don’t have to filter yourself. You don’t have to water things down. You don’t have to pretend it’s “not a big deal.”
We can talk about it. Honestly.
In couples work, we go beyond surface-level communication and into what’s actually happening underneath—patterns, expectations, unmet needs, and the dynamics that keep you stuck. This work is most effective when there is already a baseline of respect, so we can focus on rebuilding connection, intimacy, and understanding.
Therapy is only as effective as the relationship you have with your therapist. Healing doesn’t happen because of credentials—it happens because you feel safe enough to be real.
Being a sex therapist is, in many ways, an act of rebellion. These conversations are still surrounded by silence and shame, and choosing to have them takes courage.
I tailor therapy to you, using a blend of approaches including CBT, ACT, trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and a strengths-based perspective—always grounded in what actually works in real life, not just in theory.
I offer sessions both in person and virtually.
If you’re ready to stop avoiding it and start actually understanding what’s going on, I’d love to support you.
If you’re here, you’re already doing something brave.
Rebels welcome. Shame not invited.
