Why I Believe in Sex Therapy

I (she/her) believe all humans have the capacity to experience joy, pleasure, and healthy connection to their sexual selves - however that is defined for them.

And yet, sex remains deeply taboo. Because of that, many people carry shame, confusion, isolation, and miscommunication into their most intimate experiences.

Sex therapy creates space for honest conversations - with yourself, with partners, and sometimes even with the larger systems and messages that have shaped you. It’s a place to explore your sexual narrative, and to reconnect with what you actually want, need, and deserve to feel.

Who I Help

I strive to provide compassionate, thoughtful care to all people, with attention to the ways identity and systems of oppression shape our lived experiences.

Together, we explore your goals, challenges, and questions - often connected to sexuality, but always connected to you as a whole person.

We’ve all been shaped by cultural messaging around sex and relationships. Much of it is so normalized that we don’t recognize its impact until something isn’t working - until we feel stuck, disconnected, or confused. Therapy offers a space to slow down and begin to notice, question, and untangle those messages.

Some of the concerns that bring people to this work include (but are not limited to):
low or mismatched desire, dissatisfying sex, communication challenges, infidelity, complex relational dynamics, orgasm concerns, erectile or ejaculation difficulties, body image, self-confidence, gender identity, religious messaging, trauma, painful sex, or simply questioning what is “normal.”

Sex therapy is never just about sex. It’s a window into the whole self.

We often explore experiences like anxiety, depression, grief, shame, substance use, disordered eating, and life transitions - because everything you’ve lived through shapes how you relate to yourself, your body, and others.

How I Think

My work is grounded in self-compassion, mindfulness, and acceptance.

Together, we build awareness of your present-moment experience - without judgment - and expand your capacity to stay with a wider range of emotions, sensations, and internal experiences. This allows for more flexibility, more choice, and ultimately, more alignment with the life you want to live.

In sex and intimacy, I help clients move away from pressure, performance, and expectation - and toward presence, sensation, and connection.

This often means learning how to step out of your own critical thoughts, and out of your partner’s expectations, and into a more authentic relationship with your body and your desires.

Self-responsibility is an important part of this work. We focus on helping you build a relationship with your own sexuality - your eroticism, your boundaries, your needs - so that you can bring that more fully and honestly into your relationships. From there, space opens for curiosity, play, and discovery.

I am warm, honest, and engaged in the room. I will meet you with care - and I will also be direct. I believe meaningful change requires showing up fully, and I support my clients in moving toward that in a way that feels grounded and sustainable.

With permission, I offer guidance and information to help you identify patterns and beliefs that may be limiting your experience of sex and connection. We expand the definition of sex to include a wide range of intimacy and connection, and we center your experience of pleasure - not as performance, but as presence.

Sexuality is vast. There is no one right way to experience it.

I’m not here as the expert on you - but to create a space where you can better understand yourself, explore what’s possible, and build relationships that make room for all parts of who you are.
