Life can be stressful, and difficult moments can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to face them alone. Individual therapy provides a supportive space where you can develop valuable tools to navigate mental health challenges and build resilience. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, suicidal thoughts, or simply need guidance in developing healthy coping strategies, therapy can help you heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.
Sex is a fundamental part of life, but challenges with sexual health can be difficult to navigate. Sex therapy provides a safe, supportive, and affirming space to explore and address concerns that may be impacting your sexuality. Whether you’re struggling with low desire, sexual trauma, pain, dysfunction, or other intimate challenges, we will work together to create a personalized treatment plan to help you reconnect with yourself, reclaim your sexuality, and feel whole again.
Relationships take work, and every couple faces challenges. Couples therapy provides a supportive space to strengthen emotional connections, improve communication, and navigate conflicts—no matter what stage your relationship is in. Whether you’re struggling with intimacy issues, seeking deeper understanding, or working through a specific challenge, therapy can help you rebuild trust and connection.
As a sex therapist, I also support clients practicing ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, and other relationship styles, ensuring a judgment-free space tailored to your unique needs.
Therapy should be a safe and inclusive space for everyone. As a sex therapist, I provide affirming, LGBTQIA+-friendly counseling that honors your identity and experiences. Whether you’re exploring your sexual identity, facing relationship challenges, navigating sexual health concerns, or working through other personal struggles, we will work together to help you achieve your goals and embrace your authentic self.
Exploring or practicing kink is a valid and healthy part of sexuality, but it can sometimes feel misunderstood or judged. As a kink-aware therapist, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly discuss your experiences, desires, and challenges. Together, we can address concerns around communication, consent, boundaries, and relationships so you can embrace your sexuality with confidence and authenticity.
Love and connection can take many forms. If you’re practicing polyamory, ethical non-monogamy (ENM), or considering opening your relationship, I offer affirming therapy that respects and supports your choices. Whether you’re navigating communication, jealousy, boundaries, or family dynamics, therapy can help you and your partners create healthy, fulfilling relationships that align with your values and identities.
Physical challenges don’t diminish the importance of intimacy, pleasure, or connection. Therapy provides a supportive space to explore concerns around communication, desire, body image, or adaptive approaches to sexual health. Together, we can develop strategies that honor your unique needs and help you experience confidence, fulfillment, and meaningful intimacy.
Sexuality continues to evolve throughout life, and midlife can bring new questions, changes, and opportunities for growth. Whether you’re noticing shifts in desire, arousal, or comfort with your body, therapy offers a safe and affirming space to navigate these transitions. I work with individuals and couples to embrace new ways of experiencing closeness, reduce stigma, and foster intimacy and sexual wellness at every stage of life.
