No one should have to go at it alone. 

It is rare to find a space to discuss sex, never mind seeking support around sexual concerns. I began pursuing 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, internal family systems, and trauma-informed somatic care that allows us to slow down and feel the emotions we often ignore in our fast-paced society. I validate first and foremost to help clients shed feelings of shame and feel empowered moving forward.

Don’t suffer alone- let's shrug off the debilitating shame and silence and move forward with a greater sense of confidence and capacity.

When I'm not in the counselor's chair I can be found playing Xbox, snowboarding, and being a homebody with my cat.
