Sex Therapy- Your New Safe Place
Sex and sexual difficulties can be hard to talk about- that’s what I am here for!
If you're struggling with aspects of sexuality in your personal or relational life, there is hope. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples create the sexual life that they want without embarrassment or shame.
When it comes to sex therapy, every client deserves a non-judgmental and accepting therapist. I identify as queer and utilize a therapeutic approach that is non-religious in nature. Your identity as LGBTQ+, kinky, non-monogamous, transgender, disabled, or neurodivergent will be respected and dignified here.
As Emily Nagoski says, “Come as you are”!
Sexual Shame and Trauma
Sex and sexuality are deeply interwoven with our self esteem and the narratives we hold about ourselves. It influences how we feel about our bodies, our souls, our worth, etc. Processing your sexual shame and trauma in a safe, non-judgmental environment leads to new levels of healing and self love. Remember- I see you and I believe you.
Low Arousal and Desire
Experiencing a decrease in sexual arousal or interest in sex can be incredibly frustrating; after all, sexuality is an important aspect of self for many individuals! We can work to understand shifting desires levels and explore options to increase desire/arousal without shame based perspectives. Let's focus on learning and working with your sexuality, rather than forcing change on it.
Sexual Pain and Frustration
The very thing that makes sex pleasurable- our nervous system- can also lead to sexual pain such as vulva pain, penile pain, and pain during penetration. Sexual pain can make you feel truly hopeless and alone. Sex therapy can provide the support, validation, and resources needed to cope with and resolve sexual pain.
Gender, Sexuality, and Identity Exploration
Identity incorporates many facets of sexuality, gender, and relationship preferences. Using deconstruction and an existential approach, let's delve into your true expression of sexuality, gender, non-monogamy, kink, fetish, and fantasy. Welcome to a truly judgment-free zone.

Difficulty with Sexual Functioning- Orgasm, Erection, and Other
Our bodies don't always function as we want or expect them too. This can create a negative feedback loop of stress and disappointment which makes sexual functioning even harder. It is an honor to help clients find satisfaction and confidence in their sexual functioning.
Couples Sex Therapy
Navigating and communicating through sexual difficulties can be extraordinarily hard within a relationship. I am here to help you build a strong and satisfying sexual relationship by reestablishing foundations of trust and respect, learning communication skills, and increasing intimacy. Open and affirming to all types of couples.
