You can expect an affirming space where your sexuality, desires, identity, and relationships can be explored without shame or judgment. I bring a kink-aware, sex-positive, anti-oppressive lens to our work, grounded in compassion and deep respect for the diversity of human experience. Whether we’re working through desire, intimacy, trauma, or relational challenges, you can expect thoughtful guidance and a space where complexity is welcomed.

I was drawn to sex therapy because I believe that pleasure, fantasies, intimacy, and desire are powerful forms of truth-telling. When we make room for these parts of ourselves, without shame, fear, or performance, we create space for deeper connection, healing, and belonging. My curiosity has always drawn me toward the inner worlds of sex and relationships and there's so many nuances to all the stories.
