Have you been told you’re “too sensitive”? Have you felt misunderstood for how you experience the world around you? Are you wanting to navigate your sexuality to feel more connected to yourself and your relationships? Do you find yourself questioning your gender or sexuality? I am so honored you found yourself here.
If you want to work with a therapist who cultivates a safe space for you to explore healing without judgement and approaches your experiences with curiosity and empathy, I invite you to this space.

Let’s be honest, healing is difficult and frankly can be messy at times. Humans are sexual beings, let us sit down and explore what your sexuality, healing and growth looks like for you. Sexuality can be difficult to navigate, know that I am here with you. So many of us are shamed for expressing ourselves and our curiosities when it comes to our sexuality. Sexuality is such an integral part of our existence and the society we exist in unfortunately does not promote healthy conversations around sexuality and sexual learning. Our sexuality can encompass so many different aspects like gender, attraction, our relationships, messaging around sex, shame, fear, even experiences of anxiety. Know that you are not alone.

I believe it is my job as a therapist to create a safe, non judgmental space for you and your partner(s) to navigate what growth and healing can look like for you. During our time together, we will have gentle conversations around how I can support you and what healing means for you and your relationships. I work alongside clients as a resource for growth and relational repair. It isn’t my jam to “rip bandages off” or make you go somewhere you aren’t ready to go. I enjoy incorporating somatic movement and nurturing that mind, body connection. So often we struggle to connect to our bodies; I believe integrating somatic experiences is a resource for healing. I may gently challenge you and I always promise to approach your experiences through curiosity and with empathy.

As a therapist, I believe in meeting you where you are at and seeing what comes up along our journey. I am here to navigate with you. I view the therapeutic process as a collaborative effort. I believe for change and growth to happen it is important to cultivate a safe, nurturing relationship between therapist and client(s).

If you are looking for a therapist who….
Practices through a trauma and multicultural lens, who is passionate about providing care to those who have experienced trauma and has lived experience working with the intersectionality of chronic illness and sexuality, who is trained in working with kink and BDSM communities, gender and sexually diverse individuals (LGBTQIA+), neurodivergent folks, and those who identify as non-monogamous and/or polyamorous, and who is trained in working with complex trauma…

I am glad you found yourself here!

As a therapist I am passionate about working with various relationship and sexual concerns such as decreased desire, desire discrepancy, pelvic pain/painful sex, arousal and orgasm difficulties, and chronic illness that impacts sexuality and intimacy, and healing sexual trauma.

Let’s navigate living authentically, together.
