As a therapist, my aim is to create an open and non-judgmental space where you can safely explore your sexuality and/or relationship concerns, and feel empowered on your journey towards growth.

My practice is strongly rooted in sex-positive, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, feminist and person-centred values. Pleasure and authenticity are at the core of my work, and I believe all identities, expressions and lifestyles are valid. Together we can unpack the residual shame and stigma that often comes with living in a sex-negative society.

My passion for sex therapy is informed by my years of experience providing counselling for folks in the sex work industry, as well as survivors of sexual violence and trauma. Much of my work centres queer and trans folks, BDSM and kink communities, and polyamorous, multi-partnered and non-monagamous relationships.
