No one should have to go it alone.

It is rare to find a space to discuss sex, never mind seeking support around sexual concerns. I began offering sex therapy as a means to create space to talk without worry about judgement or being blamed/shamed.

I offer a de-stigmatizing and validating experience to help you feel supported while navigating the stickier and scarier parts of life. I seek to aid our innermost selves in feeling seen, understood, and unstuck. I support and normalise through psychoeducation, specialized training, and a deep well of compassion and empathy.

I ground my work in emotion-focused and trauma-informed care that allows us to slow down and feel the emotions we often ignore in our fast-paced society. Don’t suffer alone: let's address shame and silence and move forward with greater confidence and capacity.
