About Me

  • Throughout my undergraduate years studying psychology and English, I found myself consistently drawn to questions about sexuality and the role it plays in our lives and relationships. Whenever I had the freedom to choose a research topic or paper, sexuality was where I landed—again and again.

    As I moved through graduate school, I knew I wanted to become a sex therapist. As a late-diagnosed autistic person with ADHD, I now understand that sexuality has long been one of my deep, enduring special interests. That curiosity—along with a tendency to notice patterns, question norms, and look beneath the surface—quietly shaped the direction of my entire career.

    I feel incredibly lucky to support others in exploring their own relationships with sexuality, identity, and embodiment, especially in a world that so often limits honest conversations and self-trust in these areas. This work is deeply personal, and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I am truly grateful to my past, present, and future clients for allowing me to walk alongside them in their journey toward sexual self-discovery.

    So, there you have it—my very condensed story—I can’t wait to meet you and hear yours.

My Approach

  • I specialize in working with people who want to move beyond surface-level fixes and engage in transformative therapeutic work. Together, we’ll look at internal patterns as well as relational, cultural, and structural forces that contribute to feeling stuck or constrained. As you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, we will work together to help unmask your true authenticity, reclaim agency, and cultivate a life that feels aligned with your values and needs.

    Who I work with

    • Age 20+

    • Individuals

    • Couples

    • Diverse Relationship Structures (such as non-monogamy, polyamory, and/or kink/BDSM)

    Sexuality (Individual and Relational Therapy)

    • Differences in Levels of Desire (Libido)

    • Vulvar/Vaginal Pain, Pelvic Pain, & Penetration Issues

    • Neurodivergence and sexuality

  • Self-Care is Collective Care; Collective Care is Self-Care

    Self-care and collective care are deeply intertwined. When we care for ourselves, we strengthen our ability to support others. When we allow others to support us, we learn that we are worthy of love, despite our perceived flaws. One reinforces the other, which reinforces the other, and so on, creating a ripple of healing that extends far beyond ourselves. In my practice, I emphasize that personal well-being is not separate from social and relational well-being—both are essential for holistic growth and resilience.

    We exist in systems that impact our whole selves

    I work from a systemic/relational approach, meaning I take into consideration all the factors within client's lives that may be contributing to the issues they bring into the counseling room. This may include examining factors like culture, social structures, family systems, past experiences, biological/physical health impacts, mental/emotional health issues, and other important identity considerations. We cannot separate ourselves or our sexuality from these and I aim to leave no stone unturned as we work together to find awareness, insights, skills, and most importantly, relief from the distress you're feeling.

    Other important values:

    • Sex positivity and pleasure advocacy

    • Non-pathologizing of clients

    • Psychedelics: Harm-reduction (emphasizing education and informed choices) from a non-shaming view.

    • 420-Friendly (I only ask that it not be consumed before or during our sessions)

    • Social justice, healing justice, and questioning the structures that maintain oppression

  • Integrative Approach

    • An integrative approach uses a variety of evidence-based treatments, modalities, and interventions.

    • This approach allows plenty of flexibility in tailoring interventions to each unique client, ensuring that each client's strengths and identities are at the forefront of treatment.

    • Listed below are the main modalities that I integrate into my practice.

    Experiential & Relational Approaches

    • Humanistic (client-centered)

    • Systemic Therapy

    • Sexual Health & Integrative Pleasure Model

    • Internal Family Systems/"Parts Work"

    • Psychodynamic Therapy

    • Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy

    Mindfulness-Based

    • Helping clients build awareness and compassion through mindfulness is a core tenet of all the modalities I use.

    • Mindfulness is about 'paying attention on purpose', to help bring clarity and groundedness to even our toughest of times.

    Psycho-education & Skill building

    • Learning or deconstructing misinformation can bring loads of understanding and normalization to the issues that clients bring in. With this new information, clients can reintegrate old narratives with new meanings that feel more authentic.

    • Coffee, tea, chocolate and other treats

    • Openness, compassion, and respect
