Therapy
for Intimacy· Connection· Embodiment
Hello! Come on in.
Everyone deserves a space to explore sexuality and intimacy without fear of shame or judgment. In our work together, you won’t have to navigate those experiences alone. You’ll find a warm, inclusive environment where you can slow down, reconnect with your body, and begin to make sense of your experiences.
My approach is relational, attachment-focused, and body-based. I work from a sex-positive, whole-person perspective, honoring the ways your past has shaped you, while also helping you expand your internal capacity for growth, change, and a greater sense of connection within yourself.
I specialize in sex therapy with a focus on sexual trauma and bring a strong foundation in supporting clients through the complex ways trauma impacts intimacy, pleasure, identity, and the connection to self and others.
about our work together
I’m here to support adolescents and adults of all gender identities, expressions and sexual orientations. My practice is dedicated to creating an affirming, welcoming space for people across the spectrum of identities and relationship structures. We might be a particularly good match if:
You’ve experienced childhood sexual abuse and are looking for a supportive space to reconnect with your body, sense of safety, and your relationship to sexuality.
You’ve survived sexual assault, exploitation or coercion and are navigating how these experiences are impacting trust, intimacy and your ability to feel safe in relationships.
You’re struggling with pain/discomfort, a lack of desire, arousal difficulties or feelings of shame around sex, and want to explore how trauma might be influencing these experiences.
You and your partner(s) are working through the effects of trauma on your sexual connection and are looking for support in rebuilding intimacy, safety, and emotional closeness together.

Sex therapy is a supportive and confidential space where you can talk openly about your concerns with a trained and licensed therapist. Just like other types of therapy, it’s conducted in a safe environment where you can feel comfortable. Your therapist has undergone the same training as any licensed therapist, with additional specialized training in sexual health, functioning, and anatomy to better address your specific concerns. The goal is to address your sexual concerns in a respectful and professional manner. Sex therapy never involves any inappropriate or personal contact.

Not at all. I also have experience working with a diverse range of clients navigating many different aspects of sexuality and relationships. I’m committed to supporting sexual wellness in all its forms, including:
• Individuals/partners living with mental health concerns, such as bipolar disorder, personality disorders, or schizophrenia, who want support in navigating intimacy, relationships and sexual health.
• Individuals/partners who are gender diverse and are seeking support around identity, relationships and sexuality.
• Individuals/partners involved in kink communities who want a sex-positive, nonjudgmental space to explore their desires and relationships.
• Individuals/partners in alternative or diverse relationship dynamics who want guidance around communication, boundaries and relationship structure.

Let’s work together
I understand that opening up can be a vulnerable and intimidating experience. I believe in therapy as a collaborative process where your questions and feedback are welcomed and encouraged. If you would like to see if we’re a good fit, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to get started.
