My Practice as a Therapist
Talking about sex and sexuality is hard. Very few of us were given the scripts or models we need to talk about this essential part of our lives. In therapy, I want to support you in getting to know yourself, your sexuality, and your relationships more deeply. As a Certified Sex Therapist and experienced trauma practitioner, I draw on emotion-focused and body-centred approaches to help you feel safer in your body and more at ease in your sexuality. My work is grounded in attachment and intersectionality, and I welcome all bodies, all genders, all relationship styles, and all sexual orientations.

What You Can Expect When Working With Me
You deserve to feel and see change. My priority for your therapy is to create a space where you feel supported, heard, and celebrated. Our sessions are goal-driven, with a focus on deepening your awareness of your body, your emotions and your needs. We will approach roadblocks with curiosity and compassion, and we will explore what feels good for you emotionally and physically, and how to invite more ease into every day.
Why Sex Therapy?
I want everyone to feel more enjoyment, more silliness, more playfulness in their everyday. Pleasure is healing, in whatever form it takes for you. I believe that therapy isn't just about getting rid of the bad stuff, it's also about discovering the good stuff. I am passionate about guiding my clients through the stigma, shame and pain that is so often connected to sex and sexuality, and helping them find more joy and pleasure.
